Box kite spider
Box kite spiders (Isoxya) is a genus of Afrotropical orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1885. Like the spiny orb-weavers they have six prominent (but short) spines on their abdomen. They are small spiders, measuring 3 to 7 millimetres (0.12 to 0.28 in) across.[1] They have a sclerotised (or porcelain-like) abdomen which is typical of the Gastricanthinae.[1]

gollark: I believe we use DVB-T and DVB-T2 for digital TV here.
gollark: A random Minecraft mod which deals with sound a bit uses DFPWM (https://wiki.vexatos.com/dfpwm) which is seemingly quite simple and has C and Java implementations, but it is also not very good.
gollark: Maybe there's some sort of simple codec you could, er, encode it with?
gollark: Wouldn't that just be an SDR and some software these days?
gollark: It sounds like a weird thing which wouldn't transfer well to other radio stuff.
