Scytodes kumonga

Scytodes kumonga is a species of spider in the Scytodidae family native to Iran.

[1][2] The specific name kumonga refers to the spider kaiju Kumonga, a recurring monster in the Godzilla franchise by Toho which can spit silk in a similar manner to spitting spiders to ensnare opponents, whose name in turn is derived from the Japanese word for 'spider', kumo (クモ).

[citation needed] Kumonga's binomial name in Godzilla Singular Point, Kumonga scytodes, pays homage to this species.
