Dolophones conifera

Dolophones conifera, known as the wrap-around spider,[2] is a species of spider in the family Araneidae indigenous to Australia.[1] It is named for its ability to flatten and wrap its body around tree limbs as camouflage.[2] It is found in Western Australia along with several other species from the genus Dolophones,[3] and was first described in 1886.[1][4]

gollark: It does not look fine. Two consecutive lines are differently indented, there's an async IIFE there with one line in it, and it's generally weird and inconsistent.
gollark: It has automatic semicolon insertion. If you are missing some and your code doesn't work it's probably horribly formatted somehow.
gollark: Anyway, it seems like your code is horribly accursed. I would bet nothing whatsoever it's a scope issue - you're trying to use commands outside of where it's defined. It would help if you posted all the code.
gollark: Semicolons are optional in JS.
gollark: It is generally fairly evil, yes.
