Theraphosa blondi is the scientific name of the Goliath bird-eating spider. It's called 'Goliath' because of its daunting adult body size of 3-1/2 inches [8.89 centimeters] with another 11 inches [27.94 centimeters] worth of leg. It's called 'bird-eating' because it was devouring a hummingbird when first seen by intrepid Victorian era explorers of the northern South American rain forests.
