Traditionally, many people on the East Asian mainland had to be constantly on the lookout for tigers, which they recognized as savage, man-eating beasts. As the same time, they held tigers in awe as sacred animals that kept various demons at bay. The tiger does not belong in the same category of fantastic animal as the dragon or phoenix. Rather, it exists in the real world and has had a place in people’s everyday lives from antiquity. The tiger image was inscribed on jade vessels in prehistoric times as well as on weapons and sacrificial implements during the Bronze Age as a symbol of valor or a magical charm.

When Wesley Huffmaster spotted a big, brightly colored and boldly patterned spider near his home in Colbert last fall, he knew it was unusual. Analysis of its physical characteristics and DNA by scientists at the Georgia Museum of Natural History at the University of Georgia have proven him right, confirming the first known occurrence in North America of Nephila clavata, the East Asian Joro spider. Their findings appear in the online open access journal PeerJ.
