The college has maintained their memorable moniker with both a sense of humor and tradition, but there's more to their mascot than just an anecdote. The Spiders possess strength, power, and commitment. There may be strength in numbers, but the Spiders show that their small school accommodates their smaller number by having remarkable morale.

fangs? Spiders. Believe it or not spiders are on every continent of this world and are practically inescapable creatures. There are more than forty thousand different types of spiders roaming on this earth.

The Wolf spider belongs to the Lycosidae family. They are a part of the Arthropod phylum as they are characterized by having an exoskeleton, coelom, an open circulatory system and body segments with jointed appendages. Arthropods evolved by substituting the coelom for a protective exoskeleton. It was not entirely lost, but still remains in some parts of the reproductive and excretory systems. (Ruppert et al. 2004) Lycosidae are in the Araneae order as they are arthropods with four pairs of legs with

The Spider(s) I woke up like any other day from my deep sleep when my alarm clock started blasting after repeatedly hitting snooze ten times. Looking up at it I realize it’s my day off and curse at it for waking me up. After stretching I recall the dream I had. It was the most bizarre thing ever. It felt real, to real for my comfort zone. I was slowly getting ready for work, when I tripped over my feet trying to put my shoes on. My focus lands on this medium brownish black dot in the middle

interpretation, I have decided to create a spider and the web as a center focus that creates and attaches to the ideas of agency, identity, culture, and structure. The spider represents the dominant group (white race) creates these labels on how the world should look and be like. It weaves these invisible norms, just as a spider weaves an invisible web to trap their prey. I place these words in a circular motion surrounding the spider. The words that are closest to the spider are created by the dominant groups

about seven, I had this unnecessary obsession with Spider-Man. I would make people call me Peter Parker, and if they didn't I would get mad at them. I would even answer the telephone and say, "Hello this is Peter Parker, but don't tell anyone I am Spider-Man." I would always ask for more Spider-Man toys, clothing, and blankets. I even had a full Spider-Man suit at one point. The day before my fourth birthday, I was up in my room playing Spider-Man on top of my bed. Hunter wasn't playing with me

Spiders Spiders can be found in all environments throughout the entire world, except in the air and sea. (Biology of Spiders, R.Foelix) These invertebrates of the order Aranea are one of the several groups of the Class Arachnida, with about thirty four thousand species. They range in body size from only a few millimeters in length to almost five inches. All are carniverous and have four pair of walking legs, one pair of pedipalps, and one pair of chelicerae. (Spiders, W.Shear) Each chelicerae

all the spiders in the world? There's a well-known factoid that claims you're always within a few feet of a spider. Is this true? Arachnologist[3]​[4] Chris Buddle wrote a good article on this question; as you might expect, it's not literally true. Spiders don't live in the water,[5] so you can get away from them by swimming, and there aren't as many spiders in buildings as in fields and forests. But if you're anywhere near the outdoors, even in the Arctic tundra, there are probably spiders within

Arachnophobia is the all encompassing fear of spiders. If you are like most people, you have at least a touch of the phobia. While you might not have an irrational fear like those who suffer with the condition, you likely don’t care much for the small, eight-legged arachnids. That makes you normal. Thankfully, though, in South Carolina there are very few spiders that can do you any actual harm. They are the most terrifying spiders found in the Carolinas: The Black Widow: You are probably familiar
