About the Artist:
"quadrapop Lane has been in SL for over a year now - building, running a gallery and now a sim dedicated to the content creators of SL.
The avatars worn by quadrapop are varied and as the profile says.... "I am a polymorph so don't expect me to look like this pic in my profile... I could be male, female, animal or mineral... and sometimes I'm just a cloud of particles...." So if you dont recognise the AV with quadrapop Lane above it that is probably why.
Hir SL artworks have a distinctive style... rainbows feature as do circles and spheres in many forms... there is no social commentary... this is pure exploration of the possibilities of the SL prim building system for abstract ends. Some have described hir texture use as inspired... and it is true that the textures on the sculptures are integral to the work's success.
When you enter a space created, or decorated, by quadrapop you are well aware that you are no longer in Kansas (nor anywhere else on Earth) - this is purely SL.
The objects will morph without changing shape. The lighting will change their mood and sometimes their meaning, so play with your environment settings. Glow, alphas and flexi prims are all essential apsects of most of these works."
L'exposition Balcon Bettina. Oeuvres de Bettina Grossman (1927-2021)
Commissaire Yto Barrada
Centre d'art Immanence, Paris
Festival d'Autumne 2023
L'artiste et commissaire d'exposition Yto Barrada est invitée cette année au Festival d’Automne pour les arts visuels.... Parmi ses interventions multiples, elle présente au Centre d'art Immanence, une exposition intitulée "Balcon Bettina"....
Cette manifestation témoigne de l’admiration de Yto Barrada pour la pratique hypnotique et autodidacte de Bettina Grossman (1927-2021), une plasticienne et designeuse, rare, figure « excentrique » du New York des années 1970-1980. Depuis leur rencontre en 2015, elle se consacre à la reconnaissance et l’archivage de son œuvre polymorphe, très peu visible de son vivant si ce n’est lors d’une exposition à la célèbre OK Harris Gallery (New York) en 1980...

Cette exposition qui comprend des sculptures, des peintures, des dessins, des objets d'art (vitraux...) et des vidéos est consacrée aux travaux de Bettina Grossman, une artiste américaine, designeuse, graphiste et sculptrice, très peu connue en France, dont Yto Barrada a racheté la totalité du fonds d'atelier et des archives, elle a décidé de promouvoir son oeuvre et a réalisé pour le Festival d'automne la première exposition parisienne de cette artiste. La scénographie est aérée et bien adaptée à la taille de la galerie Immanence. Les oeuvres exposées de Bettina Grossman évoquent le style du Bauhaus ou du mouvement de "l'art concret", elles ne sont guère surprenantes tant on peut en voir de semblables dans les collections permanentes des musées d'art moderne ou dans les galeries de design. Bettina Grossman était sans aucun doute une remarquable plasticienne et une créatrice inventive qui aurait du être mieux reconnue à son époque. Yto Barrada a raison de s'y intéresser et de nous en faire profiter même si cette découverte n'est pas renversante.
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6100 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The carbonate minerals all contain one or more carbonate (CO3-2) anions.
Aragonite has the same chemistry as calcite - it is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Why is it a different mineral? Aragonite has a different molecular structure - the atoms are packed differently. Different minerals having the same chemical formula are called polymorphs (another good example is graphite & diamond - both C).
The difference in atomic-level packing between calcite and aragonite can be seen at the level of mineral hand samples. Aragonite forms crystals in the orthorhombic class. Many aragonite crystals are acicular (needle-like). Many aragonites form pseudohexagonal crystals, the result of 6 orthorhombic prisms growing parallel to each other. The specimen seen here is a top view of a cyclic-twinned, pseudohexagonal aragonite mass.
Aragonite is slightly harder than calcite, at H=3.5 to 4, occurs in many colors, and easily bubbles in acid. Aragonite is a little bit heavier than calcite, due to closer packing of atoms.
Most modern seashells & coral skeletons are composed of the aragonite. Whitish-colored lime sand beaches in the world are aragonitic. Occasionally, "whitings" are seen in shallow, warm ocean environments. Whitings (cloudy, milky seawater) turn out to be loaded with tiny hair-like needles of aragonite.
In the rock record, aragonitic or aragonite-rich sediments convert to calcite over time. Cenozoic-aged carbonate sedimentary rocks are often aragonitic. Mesozoic- and Paleozoic-aged carbonates are almost always calcitic. Many ancient fossils have had their aragonitic shells dissolved away. Ancient shells that were originally calcitic are often still well preserved.

I decided what my Teapotty! needed was some RGB LED heart indicators to show when and where Teapotty had moved over 180 degrees, so I added some BlinkMs (addressable RGB LEDs), some more code and then made some polymorph hearts.
Teapotty! is a teapot sitting on a servo which takes readings from a magnetometer which is influenced by neodymium magnets in a cup. The magnetometer takes the reading from the north position, plays a bit of something similar to the Tetley Tea tune and then moves to a new position - where the teacup moves to.
Teapotty! is an interactive electronic teapot I've constructed for the Chi-TEK tea party event & exhibition of tech teapots at the V&A in Sept 11.
Gene-Tree, Species-Tree Roconciliation:
The Speciation-Diamand is an expansion of the Speciation Triangle in which not at least two species arise but seemingly only one remains. The Drosophila M- to P-element evolution is a well studied example. Another classic is the I-R hybrid dysgenesis system of Drosophila. Especially relevant is the hybrid dysgenesis system triggered by the retroelement "Penelope". Other systems have dominated molecular drive and speciation in general:

Chromoanagenesis & Chromothripsis
In cancer research and the development of tumors, related molecular mechanisms that are resposible for molecular drive are Chromothripsis and Chromoanagenesis. In speciation events, the chromosome-dynamics underlying these processes are triggered by or are identical with what Eldrigde and Gould called "punctuated equilibrium". These molecular plus environmental processes potentially fascilitate speciation.

Gene-Tree, Species-Tree Roconciliation:
This figure shows an example of the history of three Rare Genomic Changes (RGC). The analysis of sequence data such as point mutations at few loci can be misleading because of homoplasy. Only synapomorphies permit the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships of taxa such as "Darwinian species". For example, retroelement insertions in a specific genomic site are always synapomorphic after a subsequent mutation while the empty insertion site is always ancestral, i.e. plesiomorphic. Evolution can be directly observed based on the strictly oriented time arrow.
Explanation:
Homoplasy is a similarity that is not inherited from a common ancestor, but obtained independently in two lineages, either by convergence or by reversion.
T1 (time 1 in the past): population genetics: the informative characters are the polymorphic, not fixed alleles.
T2 (time 2 more recent): population genetics/phylogenetics: the informative characters are the polymorphic, fixed and not fixed RGC-alleles.
T3 (present time): phylogenetics: the informative characters are the polymorphic, fixed RGC-alleles.

Souvent, plusieurs espèces du genre Pelophylax coexistent et il est difficile d'aboutir alors à des déterminations fiables à 100% sur le terrain. Chaque espèce est polymorphe et il existe également de nombreuses hybridations.
De plus, sous le nom Grenouille rieuse, il existe plusieurs espèces introduites depuis plusieurs régions : Balkans, Egypte, etc.
Le recours à la génétique s'avère indispensable.
Dans la majeure partie de la France, les Grenouilles rieuses sont des espèces introduites et provoquent donc des problèmes de pollution génétique avec les espèces locales.

SPC’s Java training in jaipur programs are so designed to help a student with little or no knowledge of any programming language get comfortable and be able to develop cool applications using this powerful programming language.
Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems’ Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to byte code (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. This programming language is a general-purpose concurrent class based object oriented programming language, specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers “write once, run anywhere”.

The genus Spondias (family Anacardiaceae) comprises 19 taxa, ten of which occur in Neotropical regions. Spondias bahiensis has been suggested to be a hybrid, although initial evidence does not support this hypothesis. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis of the hybrid origin of S. bahiensis using high-throughput sequencing with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, characterization of intragenomic nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA), and nuclear and chloroplast phylogenomic analyses. The SNP analysis revealed a high number of SNPs in the S. bahiensis genome, and with respect to nrDNA, S. bahiensis shared approximately half of the SNP alleles with S. tuberosa, but not with S. mombin. Combining the SNP analysis with nrDNA phylogeny confirmed the hybrid origin of S. bahiensis and put S. tuberosa as the female genitor. Considering the phylogeny of the genus Spondias and intraspecific SNPs in S. bahiensis, the putative male genitor is S. dulcis.

Le lézard le plus commun de nos régions. Présent sur les murs au premier rayon de soleil, où il vient se réchauffer. De lui vient probablement l'expression «faire le lézard». Cette espèce est extrêmement polymorphe, offrant des des dessins et des couleurs très variables d'un individu à l'autre, ce qui ne simplifie pas son identification.
The Meadow Brown (Maniola jurtina) is a butterfly found in European meadows, where its larvae feed on grasses, such as Sheep's Fescue.
Similar species are Gatekeeper (which prefers to rest with its wings open) and Small Heath (which is smaller).
There is marked sexual dimorphism in this species. Males are less colorful, with smaller eyespots and much reduced orange areas on the upper forewings. They are also much more active and range far about, while females fly less and often may not away from the area where they grew up.
A variable number of smaller eyespots are usually found on the hindwing undersides. These may number up to 12 per individual butterfly, with up to 6 on each wing. The factors that govern polymorphism in this trait are not resolved, although a number of theories have been proposed (Stevens 2005). On the other hand, the evolutionary significance of the upperwing eyespots is more obvious: The more active males have a markedly more cryptic upperside pattern, whereas the females have more often opportunity to present their eyespots in a sudden display of colors and patterns that presumably make neophobic predators hesitate so that the butterfly has better chances of escaping.

Turtle Eggs ready to be moved to a secure enclosure for hatching. Volunteers monitor the beaches for turtles laying then retrieve the eggs and place them in a caged off enclosure a few meters away.
The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is a species of oceanic turtle distributed throughout the world. It is a marine reptile, belonging to the family Cheloniidae. The average loggerhead measures around 90 cm (35 in) in carapace length when fully grown. The adult loggerhead sea turtle weighs approximately 135 kg (298 lb), with the largest specimens weighing in at more than 450 kg (1,000 lb). The skin ranges from yellow to brown in color, and the shell is typically reddish brown. No external differences in sex are seen until the turtle becomes an adult, the most obvious difference being the adult males have thicker tails and shorter plastrons (lower shells) than the females.
The loggerhead sea turtle is found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. It spends most of its life in saltwater and estuarine habitats, with females briefly coming ashore to lay eggs. The loggerhead sea turtle has a low reproductive rate; females lay an average of four egg clutches and then become quiescent, producing no eggs for two to three years. The loggerhead reaches sexual maturity within 17–33 years and has a lifespan of 47–67 years.
The loggerhead sea turtle is omnivorous, feeding mainly on bottom-dwelling invertebrates. Its large and powerful jaws serve as an effective tool for dismantling its prey. Young loggerheads are exploited by numerous predators; the eggs are especially vulnerable to terrestrial organisms. Once the turtles reach adulthood, their formidable size limits predation to large marine animals, such as large sharks.
The loggerhead sea turtle has a cosmopolitan distribution, nesting over the broadest geographical range of any sea turtle. It inhabits the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea.
In the Atlantic Ocean, the greatest concentration of loggerheads is along the southeastern coast of North America and in the Gulf of Mexico. Very few loggerheads are found along the European and African coastlines. Florida is the most popular nesting site, with more than 67,000 nests built per year. Nesting extends as far north as Virginia, as far south as Brazil, and as far east as the Cape Verde Islands. The Cape Verde Islands are the only significant nesting site on the eastern side of the Atlantic. Loggerheads found in the Atlantic Ocean feed from Canada to Brazil.
In the Indian Ocean, loggerheads feed along the coastlines of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and in the Arabian Sea. Along the African coastline, loggerheads nest from Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago to South Africa's St Lucia estuary. The largest Indian Ocean nesting site is Oman, on the Arabian Peninsula, which hosts around 15,000 nests, giving it the second largest nesting population of loggerheads in the world. Western Australia is another notable nesting area, with 1,000–2,000 nests per year.
Pacific loggerheads live in temperate to tropical regions. They forage in the East China Sea, the southwestern Pacific, and along the Baja California Peninsula. Eastern Australia and Japan are the major nesting areas, with the Great Barrier Reef deemed an important nesting area. Pacific loggerheads occasionally nest in Vanuatu and Tokelau. Yakushima Island is the most important site, with three nesting grounds visited by 40% of all nearby loggerheads. After nesting, females often find homes in the East China Sea, while the Kuroshio Current Extension's Bifurcation region provides important juvenile foraging areas. Eastern Pacific populations are concentrated off the coast of Baja California, where upwelling provides rich feeding grounds for juvenile turtles and subadults. Nesting sites along the eastern Pacific Basin are rare. mtDNA sequence polymorphism analysis and tracking studies suggest 95% of the population along the coast of the Americas hatch on the Japanese Islands in the western Pacific. The turtles are transported by the prevailing currents across the full length of the northern Pacific, one of the longest migration routes of any marine animal. The return journey to the natal beaches in Japan has been long suspected, although the trip would cross unproductive clear water with few feeding opportunities. Evidence of a return journey came from an adult female loggerhead named Adelita, which in 1996, equipped with a satellite tracking device, made the 14,500 km (9,000 mi) trip from Mexico across the Pacific. Adelita was the first animal of any kind ever tracked across an ocean basin.
The Mediterranean Sea is a nursery for juveniles, as well as a common place for adults in the spring and summer months. Almost 45% of the Mediterranean juvenile population has migrated from the Atlantic. Loggerheads feed in the Alboran Sea and the Adriatic Sea, with tens of thousands of specimens (mainly sub-adult) seasonally present in the North-Eastern portion of the latter, above all in the area of the Po Delta. Greece is the most popular nesting site along the Mediterranean, with more than 3,000 nests per year. Zakynthos hosts the largest Mediterranean nesting with the second one being in Kyparissia Bay. Because of this, Greek authorities do not allow planes to take off or land at night in Zakynthos due to the nesting turtles. In addition to the Greek coast, the coastlines of Cyprus and Turkey are also common nesting sites.

Outcast for the better thus motivating Karn to fight his Inheritor
siblings alongside the Spiderfolk and ultimately become Master Weaver
which may have partially influenced Karn to make Michael Mercreus a
Spider Totem.
Mutant (1) and Inhuman (2) Traits:
1A) Omega Level Mutant Psychometry: This Psionic ability is brought forth by
Strand-Weaver's Mutant ancestry allows him to see the history of an
object based on the psychic imprint left behind. When paired with
Strand-Weaver's ability to wield para-causal Spider magic he can
manifest the memory of not just ordinary objects but also manifest
physical parts of locations that would allow travel to off-limit areas
that can't be accessed in the present day due to cave-ins, remodeling
that blocks off areas, or like thereof similar to the Deepsight
ability introduced in the Witch Queen Expansion of Destiny 2. This
ability also allows Strand-Weaver to render an entire blueprint of a
weapon/piece of tech
even if it's nothing more than a piece of scrap metal. Once the
Deepsight Resonance is completed Strand-Weaver then can remake that
weapon/piece of tech either exactly the way it was or make modified
versions of that weapon/piece of tech.
1B) Limited Basic Level Psionics: This ability is brought forth by
Strand-Weaver's Mutant ancestry. This ability is limited in terms of
potency and is only used as a way to communicate with others while
Strand-Weaver is
in his "Awoken Spider" form
2) Inhuman Transformation Ability of Arachnetrophy: This transformation
ability brought forth by Strand-Weaver's Inhuman ancestry, which may
have been influenced partially by the Spider Magic/Terigen
Mist-infused spider that bit Michael Mercreus, allows him to transform
at will into a four-armed humanoid spider similar to Six-Armed
Spider-Man but with two fewer arms, and has blue skin like the Awoken
race from Destiny 1&2, Digitigrade legs with poisonous ankle barbs, a
split open lower jaw similar to the Reaper vampire from the 2002 movie
Blade 2 with fangs that are laced with fast-acting non-toxic venom,
and three Hive Acolyte eyes like Eris Morn from Destiny 1&2. This
"Awoken Spider" allows Strand-Weaver to have the following powers and
physical attributes:
2A) Wall-crawl up and climb onto vertical surfaces due to the
electrostatic adhesion abilities of spiders.
2B) Poisonous fangs lining a split open lower jaw similar to the Reaper breed of
vampire from the Wesley Snipes 2002 Blade II movie and ankle barbs
that secrete poison. The fangs in Strand-Weaver's split-open lower jaw and
the ankle barbs on his legs are strong enough to penetrate the skin of
the Hulk and secrete a strong fast-acting non-toxic venom that is
strong enough to knock out even Wolverine.
2C) Enhanced precognitive danger sense which functions on a higher level than
the female Spider Totem Silk due to participating in intensive battle
training regiments with both the New Mutant team of Krakoa and the
West Coast Avengers. This training is what grants Strand-Weaver a
level of precognition in battle allowing him to accurately know how
best to take down an opponent.
2D) Regenerative healing factor on par with Deadpool that allows
Strand-Weaver to grow back organs and in some cases entire limbs
without the skin-scarring consequences that Deadpool has.
2E) Enhanced strength, durability, reflexes 40x faster than the average
human, and Olympic gymnast-grade agility. While in "Awoken Spider"
form Michael Mercreus can lift 15 times his body weight, while in
comparison his human form can bench 5 times his weight.
2F) Organic webs that are generated thru his four forearms and channeled
thru the armored chemical dispensing/Spider magic focusing gauntlets
Michael Mercreus wears that has the added ability to drain magical
energy.
2G) Magical third eye that allows Michael Mercreus to perceive the
thoughts and emotions of those around him and enables him to use
higher forms of para-causal Spider magic normally out of reach of
certain individuals.
2H) Pheromone and Scent control allows Michael Mercreus to mask his scent
from the most well-trained individuals the likes of Wolverine and
Kraven the Hunter. Can also unintentionally attract females of almost
any species including Kree, Skrall, cryptids, and even those of
supernatural origins. It probably doesn't help that Michael Mercreus
is a tad bit body shy and feels insecure about how he feels like said
females are only interested in his jacked-up metahuman physique and
not his loveable personality quirks.
2I) Strong sense of equilibrium that allows Michael Mercreus to stand
upright even when upside down on ceilings. Sense of equilibrium is on
par with Earth 982 version of Spider-Girl May "Mayday" Parker
2J) Enhanced disease and toxin immunity brought forth by Michael
Mercreus's Spider Totem enhanced immune system allows Michael Mercreus
in both his human form and "Awoken Spider" form to have a better
immune response to diseases and toxins that would otherwise kill
normal individuals. This also allows Michael the ability to fight for
longer periods of time due to his body not producing the normal amount
of fatigue toxin of regular people which means it takes longer for his
body to feel tired.
3)Skills and abilities acquired and utilized over the years
3A)Genius Level Intellect: IQ of 119 allows Michael Mercreus to create
and reverse engineer any manner of tech he needs to overcome any
situation. Owns his genius intellect to an advanced mentorship
training program with Parker Industries that is run thru Horizon
University. Michael Mercreus is able to retain most of his higher
brain functions while he's in his "Awoken Spider" form thanks in part
to telepathic mental training with Charles Xavier
3B)Full Spider-Magic Mastery; Michael Mercreus is a master of Spider-Magic
derived from the Web of Life and Destiny which allows him to create
webs made of para-causal energy that work similarly to the Strand
subclass from Destiny 2 Lightfall. Michael Mercreus is also able to
create portals to (almost) any/every location in the Marvel
multiverse. Michael Mercreus was taught the ways of Spider magic thru
Doctor Strange's Strange Academy on Earth 616 where he learned most of
but not just limited to the following kinds of spells and
incantations:
3Ba) Herbal healing spells of the highest caliber
3Bb) Every manner of spiritual cleansing spells
3Bc) Astral projection and defensive spells to use while astral
projecting against dark magic users
3Bd) Extra-dimensional/multiversal portal conjuring
3Be) Binding spells that disorient and slow down foes
3C) Michael Mercreus is an expert chemist who has mastered the utility
of every element available in the Marvel Comics Periodic Table of
Elements. Michael utilizes this knowledge while he is bonded to the
Insomnia symbiote by using its chemokinesis abilities to create the
solutions he needs to overcome any situation
3D) Mastery of the Martial Arts style called the Way of the Spider (1d)
which was taught to Michael Mercreus by a Shang-Chi variant from Earth
TRN 1050. Michael Mercreus is also proficient at the Mexican fighting
style of lucha libre and the Afro-Brazillian fighting style of
capoeira (1e)
3E) Excellent cooking skills which help him make good home-cooked
meals for both himself and his allies. Trust the words of all the
Spiderfolk who've eaten his meals when they say that Michael Mercreus
knows his way around the kitchen and can make a guy/girl feel they're
eating meals that taste as authentic as the real deal of their native
universe.
4) Insomnia Symbiote Powers and Abilities:
4A) Pathogen & Toxin Curing: this ability borrowed from the genetic makeup
of the Anti-Venom symbiote allows Insomnia to create antibodies to
virtually any disease, toxin, and poison both natural and man-made.
Enables Insomnia to purge symbiotes from unwilling hosts by inducing
an immune response in the unwilling host's body making the body of
said host inhospitable for a Klyntar symbiote to stay bonded to.
4B) Chemokinesis: This trait borrowed from the genetic makeup of the
Sleeper symbiote allows the Insomnia symbiote to be capable of
producing liquid and aerosol chemicals with a variety of effects -
including inducing various emotional states, tranquilizing targets,
psychological manipulation, and secreting corrosive chemicals for
offensive purposes. This also affords it a form of telepathy, using
pheromones to interject its thoughts into others' minds This also
grants it a superior cloaking ability to other symbiotes, generating
pheromones to almost completely mask its presence. It is also capable
of using chemokinesis as a means of rocket propulsion, enabling it to
traverse space, and produce acid. Strand-Weaver often employs this
ability of Insomnia by wearing a specialized set of gauntlets that
were built to dispense the chemicals that Insomnia secretes. The
gauntlets are also enhanced with Loomworld tech that allows
Strand-Weaver better control over the Spider magic spells he uses in
battle.
4C) Invisibility: This trait borrowed from the genetic makeup of the
Sleeper symbiote allows Insomnia to turn it and its host invisible at
will allow for more stealth-based strategies.
4D) Camouflage Capabilities: Like many symbiotes, the Insomnia symbiote
can shift its physiological semblance into a host of different shapes
and forms i.e. mimicking forms of clothing, camouflaging with its
surroundings, emulating other people's visages, etc. What makes this
particular Symbiote unique is its ability to manipulate ambient light
in order to become invisible. This in conjunction with using its
hormone abilities enables it to confuse the sensory systems of others,
thereby making it the perfect stalker.
4E) Sound and Fire Immunity: This trait borrowed from the genetic makeup
of the Anti-Venom symbiote grant the Insomnia symbiote complete immunity
from the traditional weaknesses of normal Klyntar symbiotes
4F) Offshoot Generation: This trait borrowed from the genetic makeup of
the Sleeper symbiote allows Insomnia to be capable of being separated
into offshoot symbiotes that can be bonded to other hosts while being
remotely piloted by the main one. It can also use self-assembling,
remote-resonant ectoplasm to create a working copy of itself while
doing another thing on the sidelines
4G) Enhanced visual sense, strength, stamina, speed, reflexes, and danger
sense: This trait borrowed from both the Anti-Venom and Sleeper
symbiote increases the inherent power of the user making the host
faster, stronger, and more durable than the average superpowered
individual of the host's species. This also allows the host of the Insomnia
symbiote the ability to see things even Heimdall the gatekeeper of
Asgard can't see.
5)Design notes of things I want in the final design
5A)The color of the Insomnia symbiote's Bio-mass is White due to the
Anti-Venom symbiote's genetic makeup combined with the green striping
that the Sleeper symbiote has which form the outline of
Strand-Weaver's Spider logo on his suit.
5B) An armored look of Strand-Weaver bonded to the Insomnia symbiote looks
like a four-armed Sleeper Agent with armored gauntlets and back
assembly Sleeper Agent has combined with armor tech designs from
Destiny 1 & 2.
5C) Armor of Sleeper Agent I want to have mashed up with Destiny 1&2 armor
incorporated into the combined Spider/sym sona(1a):

5F) Anti-Venom biomass color scheme I want the Insomnia symbiote to have
plus the Sleeper symbiote green stripes:
marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Anti-Venom_(Symbiote)_(Earth-616)
5G) same body type I want Strand-Weaver's 'Awoken Spider" to be, minus two
arms, plus add to the design the addition of the digitigrade legs,
split open lower jaw, blue Awoken skin, and three Hive Acolyte eyes of
Eris Morn:
marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Parker_(Earth-92100)
5H) Sleeper Symbiote green stripes and eye pattern I want in the Insomnia
symbiote design:

5I) Split open jaws of Reaper vampire that I want a similar look of in
Michael Mercreus's "Awoken Spider" form:
marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Reapers_(Race)
5J) Destiny 2 Lightfall Strand subclass of which I want
Strand-Weaver's para-causal webs created by his Spider magic to behave
similarly to (and I want them to work outside of just web-swinging to
another spot in his location):
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgv00uCRt60
5K) Deepsight ability from Destiny 2's Witch Queen Expansion that I
want Strand-Weaver's Psychometry to behave like when paired with his
ability to use Spider magic:

6) Early concept art of the two separate characters
6A) Early rough draft of OC Inhuman/Mutant Spidersona Strand-Weaver and
Symbiotesona Anti-Venom/Sleeper hybrid symbiote Insomnia:

6B) Early rough draft of Strand-Weaver's "Awoken Spider" form:
drive.google.com/file/d/14t5dSOz9YZclyBnTDYUERbZIArsLperj...
(1a) Whatever armor Exotic or Legendary from Destiny 1 or 2 you feel would incorporate well into the design of the Sleeper Agent's wearable chemical/biological warfare gauntlets and back apparatus from the August 2022 issue of Venom I will leave that decision up to you to figure out.
(1b) Strand-Weaver is able to bond with the Anti-Venom/Sleeper hybrid symbiote Insomnia and retain his "Awoken Spider" powers due to the fact that his powers aren't radiation-based.
(1c) For the human form of Michael Mercreus use a brown-haired version of the actor Daniel Radcliffe as the depiction. Have any conversations Michael Mercreus has that comments about how he looks like Harry Potter ends with him getting mad at that individual who said that? Given his mixed Mormon upbringing which told him that Harry Potter was of the Devil and the movie/book series was spreading messages of behaviors and sexuality that were not accepted by Christian folks in Ohio, messages including mutants that ultimately led Michael to make the move to the state of New York in the first place. It was a viewpoint Michael was blindly following the path of for a while before he became the Inhuman/Mutant hybrid Strand-Weaver, would still get annoyed when people compare his good looks to Harry Potter.

(1e) Here is a video talking about the other fighting styles Michael
Mercreus knows:
Vug with aragonite crystals in dolostone in the Mississippian of Ohio, USA.
This rock has a small vug containing numerous clear to whitish needles of aragonite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate). Aragonite is a less common polymorph of calcite and is rarely found in Ohio. The host rock is a glauconitic fossiliferous dolostone having crinoid stem columnals. The green spots in parts of the surrounding matrix are glauconite (click on the photo to zoom in & look around).
Stratigraphy: dolostone horizon below inferred Rushville Shale, upper Vinton Member, upper Logan Formation, ~middle Osagean Stage, upper Lower Mississippian
Locality: Trinway West 6 Outcrop - lower slopes of the eastern part of roadcut on the northwestern side of Rt. 16, 1.0 miles northeast of the Rt. 16-Old Riley Road intersection, northeast of the town of Frazeysburg & west of the town of Trinway, northwestern Muskingum County, Ohio, USA (~40° 08' 46.98" North latitude, 82° 04' 56.49" West longitude)
