Anajapygidae

The Anajapygidae are a small family of diplurans. They can be distinguished by their relatively short, stout cerci, which discharge abdominal secretions.[1] Unlike most diplurans, which are largely predatory, these are scavengers.

gollark: No.
gollark: I mean, it technically works, possibly.

gollark: The problem is this: `local _,retv=pcall(loadstring(res)())`.
