The spiders in the genus Textrix have a strongly recurved posterior row of eyes with the medial eyes larger than the lateral eyes. They have a narrow head which is distinct from the thorax. These spiders may resemble wolf spiders as they are often recorded running about in sunshine, but their long and segmented posterior spinners are very marked and identify them as funnel web weavers.[3]

gollark: Thusly, none are safe.
gollark: Muahahahaha, I managed to make a veeeery basic DNS server using asyncio.
gollark: I think modern SSDs have "secure erase" where they just wipe the encryption key from the controller, but there's no way to test how well that actually works.
gollark: So SSDs do MANY tricks to optimize the locations of stuff in flash to minimize wear.
