WAAAAAAR EEK-agle!

A new species of spider was discovered in the suburbs of, none other than, Auburn AL. It's a relative of the tarantula, and a variety of trapdoor spider. What's it's name you ask? Myrmekiaphila tigris, or the Auburn Tiger Trapdoor Spider, in honor of Aubie. Personally, I think we just got ourselves an additional mascot.

Fun fact about how the trap-door spider got it's name:

The female of the species, which can live 15 to 20 years, spend nearly all their lives in silk-lined burrows, the entrance to which is hidden by a hinged trapdoor spun of silk and soil. The spiders wait by the door, feeling for the vibrations from passing prey then leap out to administer a venomous bite on the unsuspecting prey, which the spider then drags back underground.

If you ask me, that sounds a lot like Starla in her bedchamber at 90 dubz.
