Good call, I think the scientific tag is at least more right now. :)

The scientific tag may not be right, but the common name is.... not sure how many diff species there might be. Dinothromb. is for the "Giant Velvet Mite" and I don't know that what you have there is a Giant or if there is even a diff :)
