yellow garden spider :: Article Creator These Are 5 Of The Biggest Spiders In SC. How Dangerous Are They? Have you ever wondered what kinds of spiders in South Carolina are the biggest? If you haven't before, you might now. You may be accustomed to seeing banana spiders in their expansive webs in corners of your yard, but did you know there are other large spiders in the state? In fact, the Palmetto State's own state spider is the largest of its species in the U.S. As terrifying as this may sound, the truth might not be so terrible. "Although it may seem contrary to your instincts, the largest spiders in South Carolina are usually not the most dangerous ones," detailed A-Z Animals, a large animal encyclopedia site, which compiled a list of the biggest spiders in South Carolina. Starting from the smallest, of the largest, to the biggest of the big in South Carolina, here are five of some of the biggest spiders to look ou...

stackable reptile cages :: Article Creator Building A Hardware Store Faraday Cage Most Hackaday readers are no doubt familiar with the Faraday cage, at least in name, and nearly everyone owns one: if you've ever stood watching a bag of popcorn slowly revolve inside of a microwave, you'be seen Michael Faraday's 1836 invention in action. Yet despite being such a well known device, the average hacker still doesn't have one in their arsenal. But why? It could be that there's a certain mystique about Faraday cages, an assumption that their construction requires techniques or materials outside the realm of the home hacker. While it's true that building a perfect Faraday cage for a given frequency involves math and careful attention to detail, putting together a simple model for general purpose use and experimentation turns out to be quick and easy. As an exercise in minimalist hacking I recently built a basic Faraday cage out o...

giant pacific octopus :: Article Creator Giant Pacific Octopus Rescued At Haystack Rock -- Get To Know The World's Largest Octopus A giant Pacific octopus, the largest and longest living octopus species in the world, was rescued near Haystack Rock earlier this month after struggling in the waves and rocky areas along the beach. The crawling creature was first spotted at around 9:30 a.M., June 7, 2023, as the tide was going out between Haystack Rock and the Needles, another nearby rock formation.

54 in dog crate :: Article Creator My Pet World: Dogs May 'look Guilty,' But They Don't Feel Guilty The Way Humans Do That "guilty look" from your dog is not an admission of guilt as you and I know it, but him reacting solely to your displeasure with him, writes Cathy M. Rosenthal. Dreamstime Cathy M. Rosenthal Dear Cathy: My 2-year-old Rottweiler is peeing on and around almost everything in my home for no obvious reason. I have two Rottweilers (both from the same litter), and the other one does nothing of the sort. It's not like he has to pee; he lifts his leg and spritzes on furniture, table legs, carpets, the walls and even on his own feeding tray. I've tried "stay away" sprays and blocking him from areas where he does this, but nothing helps. I put him immediately in his crate when he does this, and he knows he's done something wrong. Any suggestions? I'm at my breaking poi...

chinchilla cat :: Article Creator These Are The 11 Rarest Cat Colors And Patterns Michele Wright/Getty Images Tortoiseshell Also known as "torties," cats with tortoiseshell coloring have a mixture of orange and black fur. This is considered a rare cat color pattern, but there's still a good chance you've seen (or owned) a few yourself. "Tortoiseshell cats are almost always female, as the males are exceedingly rare in the wild," notes Dr. Little. "This occurs because those colored genes are sex-linked and travel with the female X chromosome to produce that coloring distribution." He adds that tortoiseshell kitties are often credited with having fiery personalities. Dr. Little notes that in his practice, torties are often more resistant to handling compared with other feline patients. This doesn't mean that your cat won't be affectionate, though. Love, gentle handling and building trust with ...
