| Discovery Notes | The phage was found outside Sutherland West Residence hall (University of Pittsburgh), on 29 August 2018 at 11:49 AM. The soil was slightly moist, loose and full of mulch. |
| Naming Notes | The name for this phage comes from the name of the spider from the animation videos of 'Lucas the Spider.' I have always loved this animation and has made spiders less intimidating for me. Similarly, my work with 'Lucas the Phage' will make research and phages less intimidating for me. |

| Plaque Notes | The Direct Isolation plate had a number of small clear plaques (about 1-2mm in diameter). The plaques covered almost the entire plate in quantity. In Plaque Purification #7 (from liquid lysate), there two different kinds of plaques - the small clear plaques and larger, turbid plaques, about 2mm in diameter. However, on further purification, plaques with the priginal morphology were found. The lysate was created using a plate with this morphology (small clear plaques, about 1-2mm in diameter) |
