There is no such thing as a "specie". If you want to abbreviate species, singular, your write "sp.". If you want to abbreviate species, plural, you write "spp." Also, the plural of genus is "genera". There is no such word as genus' or genus's. Tarantula hobbyists take great pride in rattling off the Latin names of their species, but most aren't biologists or have learned basic taxonomy. That's ok; these long-time keepers are the best resources for your to learn about your tarantula. Biology training isn't necessary; learn from the experts. [/QUOTE]
