Spider

To many people, spiders are terrifying. In fact, behind death and public speaking, arachnophobia, the fear of spiders, haunts fifty percent of women and sixteen percent of men (The Wall Street Journal). However, these usually small arachnids are highly underestimated in their capabilities. They are clever, industrious, and inventive, giving them the ability to thrive in many environments. Spiders spin their webs with silk, the strongest known natural fiber. They also have eight eyes, eight long legs, and many different tactics with which to catch their prey. While spiders may be widely feared, they are actually amazing creatures. The same could be said of The University of Richmond’s Spiders.

The campus fosters a community where people are smart, motivated, and always looking to do something better. Like the spider with its eight legs, the students are fast moving with many opportunities to go in different directions and explore different avenues of study. For me,…

There was one time in particular where I thought I was going to die; I remember it like it was yesterday. I was surrounded by nothing.

1) Ans: The two proximate level reasons for hunting mostly orb-web building spiders. 1)The structure of the web: There is a chance of getting stuck in cob-web building spiders rather than orb-web building spiders. This is because orb-web building spider builds 2D structure of web and cob-web building spider builds 3D structure of web.

about Spider Monkeys, I used a book from my library called Macmillan Illustrated Animal Encyclopedia. The editor is Whitfield, Dr. Philip, and the publisher was Macmillan Publishing Company New York, 1984. My subtopic is about the Black Spider Monkey’s habitat, the forest.

You may be asking yourself for the first pick, well since this movie is all time favorite movie because I enjoyed how Tobey Maguire captured the essence of Spider-Man. I enjoy the story plot. The actors for each character couldn't have been any perfect. The fact which everyone can relate to Peter Parker, well maybe not the part that he…
