When I had Tarantulas and Snakes and Lizards I had to learn all the Latin names. Most of my spiders had no common name. I had 64 at one point. That's a lot of Latin

Poecilotheria regalis was one of my favorites.

ray-gal-iss

Now I'm trying to learn all my plant's names

I know this isn't pronunciation, but is it beta or betta? I've seen it written both ways.
