Tarantula Mating Season

Love is in the air in the world of tarantulas. You may notice more tarantulas on the trails and roads, especially at elevations of 1000-2500 feet during the late afternoon and early evening. The months of September and October are prime time for the tarantula mating season. Don't be afraid - they really are very docile creatures! But they are on a mission so it's best to just let them be.
