If the Richmond mascot is a spider, they'd need at least a couple of people in there.
Just saw this thread, a year late.
Yes, we're the only Spiders in the country in terms of college mascots. Kind of weird, if you ask me.

You should see the life-size Spiderman statue on campus. It's both creepy and inspiring.

Yes, it is true. I'll try to remember to take a photo next time I'm there.

Yes, we're the Richmond Spiders. We're the only school in the country with 'spiders' as the mascot. So there are spiders and webs all over campus. Kind of creepy.
Right near the gym entrance there is a life-size Spiderman statue/action figure. Here are a couple of pics:
