Drymusa

Drymusa is a genus of false violin spiders that was first described by Eugène Simon in 1892.[2] They physically resemble violin spiders (Loxosceles), but their bites are not believed to be medically significant.[3] Originally placed with the spitting spiders, it was moved to the Loxoscelidae (now a synonym for Sicariidae) in 1981,[4] then to the Drymusidae in 1986.[5]

gollark: So, can you "explain" why I am a "loser"?
gollark: Right now it CANNOT be automated assuming the sandbox holds (it doesn't) because user code CANNOT read the text on screen.
gollark: As I said: I know you can factor primes automatically, but I mean user code could autoqueue a key event.

gollark: Solar: no, that could be automatically done.
