Barahna

Barahna is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies in 2003.[2] The name is derived from baran-barahn, the Bundjalung word for "spider".[2] Originally placed with the Stiphidiidae,[2] it was moved to the intertidal spiders after the results of a 2017 genetic study.[3]

gollark: This seems like more of an argument against killing existing ones than against not having new ones?
gollark: If your children are less likely to do well, just have more of them to increase the probability of one being well off or something? Or so you can have lots of them support you a bit in old age.
gollark: However, resource consumption goes up.
gollark: Even bee eugenics?
gollark: The bee eugenics machine takes a batch of 12 bees, scans them, picks the best ones according to our fitness function, sends the bad ones into the singularity compressor, and sends the good ones into the apiaries.
