Taxonomy
The species was formerly treated as a subspecies of Pyrausta subsequalis.
gollark: I spammed it with a few thousand requests in a few seconds, and:- in the old version it just ignored two increments at once (node.js has a weird single-threaded event loop model...) (the ignoring did come with extra disk/CPU load though)- the version I took down would basically just spin for ages as all the transactions were queued- the new version should have a longer delay and work less badly
gollark: Good enough. Turning it back on.
gollark: It's under maintenence.
gollark: I could add a chatbox and skynet integration.
gollark: Up or down. CHOOSE YOUR SIDE.
