This scientist has a better sense of humor than some. If you read the article, the Neil Young spider is from Jefferson County, Alabama. Neil Young's song "Southern Man" (an attack on Southern racism) was what inspired the band Alabama to write "Sweet Home Alabama" (with its infamous lyrics praising Richard Nixon "Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you" and George Wallace "in Birmingham they love the governor"). I always thought Neil Young got the better of this argument. I'm thinking this scientist isn't very happy about being at East Carolina, and is sending a little message here.

in the U.S. are dangerous to people: the Black Widow and the Brown Recluse (the "fiddleback" spider).
Trapdoor spiders pose no danger to humans.
