Having two spines or thorns; characterized by a pair of sharp pointed structures or appendages.
From bi- (two) plus spinous (from Latin 'spinosus'). This is a variant or synonym of bispinose, used in botanical and zoological description.
Bispinous structures show up everywhere in nature—from the twin spines on certain beetles to paired thorns on plants—it's like nature discovered that two points are more defensive than one!
