A wormhole is a hypothetical structure which connects disparate points in spacetime. It may be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both). Wormholes are based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. [1]
Nemesiidae is a family of mygalomorph [1] spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1889, [2] and raised to family status in 1985. Before becoming its own family, it was considered part of "Dipluridae". [3] The family is sometimes referred to as wishbone spiders due to the shape of their burrows. [4]
The key to the whole idea is wormholes—specifically, a type of wormhole called a ring wormhole. Now, wormholes are already entirely theoretical, so this discussion is going to get weird. And ...

Most are known from insects, but some are recorded from spiders, scorpions and crustaceans. A few are known to parasitize earthworms, leeches and molluscs, [3] and a specimen is known from a spider preserved in Baltic amber. [4] At least 25 species are known to parasitize mosquito larvae, making them of considerable interest in biological control.
An irrational fear of spiders is called arachnophobia. Etymology The word spider derives from Proto-Germanic * spin-þron- , literally ' spinner ' (a reference to how spiders make their webs), from the Proto-Indo-European root * (s)pen- ' to draw, stretch, spin ' .
Brown recluse. What they look like: The brown recluse is a brown spider with a distinct “violin-shaped marking” on the top of its head and down its back, Potzler says. Also, brown recluse ...
Instead, they proposed that three separate groups of "arthropods" evolved separately from common worm-like ancestors: the chelicerates, including spiders and scorpions; the crustaceans; and the uniramia, consisting of onychophorans, myriapods and hexapods.
