Apropos of nothing 😇 , there is a species of recluse spider, _Loxosceles coheni_, named after legendary Canadian singer-songwriter and poet Leonard Cohen. From an Entomology Today article by one of the scientists (https://entomologytoday.org/2021/01/08/new-species-recluse-spider-named-for-leonard-cohen/) "I have been listening to Cohen’s music since a rather young age, especially more so during the recent years, which certainly helped with working during the cold, dark, and long winters of Finland, where I am pursuing my Ph.D. at the University of Turku. The phrase 'burning violin' that we used in the title of the article is a pun: First, it is a reference to Leonard Cohen’s famous song 'Dance Me to The End of Love', and, second, it refers to the violin-shaped marking on the cephalothorax of these spiders (hence the common name 'violin spiders') and the 'burning' nature of their venom, which in some cases can cause severe dermonecrosis, often leaving a permanent scar behind. I liken Cohen’s music to the venom of recluse spiders: It doesn’t affect everyone, but those who are affected by it carry a scar for the rest of their lives."
