The Black Widow spider, also known as the Latradectus Hesperus, is located all around the world, but its origin or place of discovery is in Southern America. This spider is found to be soft, hairy and have a "bumpy" surface. The spider has eight long legs, 2 fangs, 4 eyes and is made up of two main body parts. There are hundreds of different spiders located just about anywhere you go. The spider is covered in black all around expect on its lower abdominal area. It has a red hourglass design on it and with these colors in mind, at first sight, the spider can give off the vibes of, death, fear and caution. This spider has inspired many media figures, fromgiant killer spiders like in movies such as Eight-Legged Freak to a sculpture made by Louise Bourgeois. The spider is both "protector and predator" in its habitat. The Widow's venom is one of the deadliest venoms known to main within the spider family, used to kill anything that falls in its adaptable web. When the Widow mates, it can lay hundreds of eggs at once & will protect the "nest" as much as possible. Females are bigger than males, which makes it so if the female doesn't find the male Widow worthy after mating, it will eat the male as food for the future family. Shortly after the eggs are laid, the Widow will be on an hourglass timer. Widows don't live much after giving birth. Spiders are naturally gifted creatures and that's why I chose a Widow for my project.
Mechanical Object
The Gamecube controller is one of the best controllers ever made. Though it took months of work to make, the controller was released on September 14, 2001. It's origin is from Japan by thank the heavens, the controller and its console were able to travel around the world. Made with plastic, rubber, hardened steel for the springs inside the controller, digital chips and wires. You can show this to the average teen, maybe even adults by this time through and joy and excitement will fill their human heart. There have been many, many different models made since the Gamecube's release. From extra buttons to different colored controller, each controller would become part of what someone is. This is not fact, but the colors could tell a bit about the player. White controllers are usually for the motivated, black for the sneaky, red for the passionate and blue for the risk takers. The structure of the controller is heavy enough to take a beating but light on or in your hands. Good grip and protective rubber around the analog stick make it so one can play competitive gaming as seen at E-Sport tournaments to casual at home fun with Mario Party. This controller was my childhood and I carry it to this day.
