“Like it was legit following the scent.”One person claimed that a wolf spider bit them after they used their wife’s lotion.
No because @Sephora here's my wolf spider bite after using some of my wife's lotion and then changing her freaking tire.
What many people might mistake as “wolf spiders” are likely house spiders in the Agelenidae family, which behave and chemically interact differently.
In other words, the compounds that would attract one species of spider wouldn’t attract another, like wolf spiders or house spiders.

Even without Adobe, things don’t look too bad for Figma CB Insights estimates that Figma is still worth between $8.3 billion and $9 billionA failed acquisition often spells doom for the target company.
But despite its $20 billion takeover by Adobe not going through, there are reasons to think that Figma will be just fine.
That the online design company will get a $1 billion termination fee from Adobe will help soften the blow.
So, “no, startups, you’re not getting a breakup fee unless it’s a sizable enough deal where there is antitrust risk,” VC Ed Sim wrote on X.
