      Definitely not.

      Don’t ID medical significant spiders if you don’t know what you’re talking about.

      I think they don’t appreciate Entomemeology jokes here

        I understand it’s very much a meme. But a bad one. And without any indicators that it’s not a serious answer it should just be treated as a wrong answer.

        When someone honestly requests and ID these kinds of jokes are also just not appropriate in general. Most people that find spiders aren’t in on them.

          Why on earth are you so pissy at me for? I didn’t make the joke, I literally told them this probably isn’t a place where it’d be appreciated

            I wasn’t trying to come across as “pissy”. But trying to explain the “joke” you referenced. And yes, I guess explaining a joke always kind of makes you sound like a dick.

            Nothing personal. But spider IDs are serious business.
