And no, we're not talking about some random person who's decided to name their new pet spider 'Johnny'.
Instead, a new species of tarantula has been named in honour of The Man in Black.
Fourteen new species have been discovered, in fact - including Aphonopelma johnnycashi, which was named because of its colouring and the fact that it is found primarily in the western Sierra Nevada Mountains, near Folsom Prison.
Florida Museum of Natural History spokesman Chris Hamilton told the BBC: "It's a perfect name. It fits the spider - it's found around Folsom and the males are predominantly all black, so it fits his image. I have a Johnny Cash tattoo so I was very happy that it worked out that way."
See below for the spider (warning: large picture of a spider incoming):
It was recently announced that a 40-foot statue of Johnny Cash is to be erected near Folsom Prison.
