Arachnid
Nozami's Stats

Name: Nozami
Nickname(s): Noza, Zomi(Helen), No(Kaze)
Gender: Male
Stage: Toddler
D.O.B: May 1, 2006
Skin(Exoskeleton): Brown Recluse Spider

General Appearance: He's a toddler at the moment, so he's only about three feet tall, give or take. His hair is a reddish-brown, styled short and generally well-groomed(though it fluffs up a bit in the back). His eyes match the color of his hair. His skin tone could be considered normal for caucasions, but seems to have a soft tan tint(surprising seeing as he hides in dark corners).

Appendages: He has eight jointed, lengthy spider's legs extending from his back. These are a pale brown and very flexible, though they're often curled about his stomach.

Marks: He seems to be crying blood... These thick, red-brown lines extend from beneath each eye and dribbles all the way to his jaw. There is a mark of similar color on his back, in the shape of a large, upside-down violin.

Clothes: Dark blue sweater with black lines. Brown shorts that cut off at the knees.

Nozami has shed his skin(exoskeleton?) and becomes an adorable toddler! Poor little recluse- he'll have to survive living under the care of a spasstic, social-butterfly.

So he's made it into childhood. The kid doesn't look any more ready for the world than he did as a toddler. Seems a little distant, and not eager to be interrupted. Best leave him to whatever he's drawing... And NO YOU CAN'T LOOK! IT'S NOT READY! D:

Origin
The Brown Recluse

The brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa, is found throughout the south central and midwestern United States. Infestations in Kentucky are intermittent, becoming more common as one travels westward. Other species of Loxosceles spiders occur in the southwestern U.S. and southern California, but the brown recluse is the most notable and widespread. Recluse spiders are rare outside their native range and are widely over-reported. Occasionally, one or a few spiders may be transported to a non-native area in boxes or furnishings, but infestations seldom become established.

Though variable in size, adult brown recluse spiders with legs extended are about the size of a U.S. quarter. Coloration ranges from tan to dark brown, and the abdomen and legs are uniformly colored with no stripes, bands or mottling. The legs are long and thin and lack conspicuous spines. For laypersons, the most distinguishing feature of a brown recluse is a dark violin-shaped mark on its back, with the neck of the violin pointing toward the rear (abdomen) of the spider. This feature is consistent in adult brown recluses, but sometimes less obvious in younger spiders. A more definitive diagnostic feature is the eye pattern -- brown recluses have a semi-circular arrangement of 6 eyes in 3 groups of 2 while most other spiders have 8 eyes.

In nature, brown recluse spiders live outdoors under rocks, logs, woodpiles and debris. The spider is also well adapted to living indoors with humans. They are resilient enough to withstand winters in unheated basements and stifling summer temperatures in attics, persisting many months without food or water. The brown recluse hunts at night seeking insect prey, either alive or dead. It does not employ a web to capture food -- webs strung along walls, ceilings, outdoor vegetation, and in other exposed areas are nearly always associated with other types of spiders.

During daylight hours, brown recluse spiders typically retreat to dark, secluded areas. They often line their daytime retreats with irregular webbing, which is used to form their egg sacs. Adult female recluses seldom venture far from their retreat, whereas males and older juveniles are more mobile and tend to travel farther. Consequently, they are more likely to wander into shoes, clothing or bedding at night and bite people when they inadvertently become trapped against the skin. At times, brown recluse spiders will be seen during daylight hours crawling on floors, walls and other exposed surfaces. Such behavior can be triggered by hunger, overcrowding, pesticide application, or other factors.

About 40-50 eggs are contained within 1/3 inch diameter off-white silken egg sacs. The tiny emerged spiders gradually increase in size, molting five to eight times before becoming adults.

The molted (shed) skins of the brown recluse have a distinct "rigid" appearance and can be useful in confirming infestation

Brown recluse spiders mature in about a year and have an average lifespan of 2 to 4 years. The females produce up to 5 egg sacs in a lifetime. Infestation levels in homes vary greatly, ranging from one or a few spiders to several hundred.

Like other spiders, the brown recluse is not aggressive. It is quite common, in fact, to live in a building that is heavily infested and never be bitten. Most bites occur in response to body pressure, when a spider is inadvertently trapped against bare skin. Some people are bitten when they roll over one in bed. Other bites occur while moving stored items or putting on a piece of clothing that a spider has chosen for its daytime retreat. Brown recluse spiders have remarkably small fangs and cannot bite through clothing.

The initial bite is usually painless. Oftentimes the victim is unaware until 3 to 8 hours later when the bite site may become red, swollen, and tender. The majority of brown recluse spider bites remain localized, healing within 3 weeks without serious complication or medical intervention. In other cases, the victim may develop a necrotic lesion, appearing as a dry, sinking bluish patch with irregular edges, a pale center and peripheral redness. Often there is a central blister. As the venom continues to destroy tissue, the wound may expand up to several inches over a period of days or weeks. The necrotic ulcer can persist for several months, leaving a deep scar. Infrequently, bites in the early stages produce systemic reactions accompanied by fever, chills, dizziness, rash or vomiting. Severe reactions to the venom are more common in children, the elderly, and patients in poor health. Persons bitten by a brown recluse spider should apply ice, elevate the affected area, and seek medical attention immediately.
