Tarantula mating season starts in Sonoran Desert

 

Love is in the air for tarantulas. Male tarantulas have begun to leave their underground burrows to looks for a mate. The Sonoran Desert with its monsoon rain is the right kind of atmosphere for them. Don’t worry, you won’t see them during the day, they are nocturnal. Experts say they could have hundreds of eggs but that many of them will become prey. They say the tarantulas aren’t dangerous; they won’t bite or chase unless you try to pick one up.

And now coming to New Mexico:

 

Tarantula mating season comes to Bandelier and other parts of New Mexico

 

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (KRQE) – The National Park Service officially reminded the public that it is once again tarantula season. Every autumn, mature male tarantulas start on their quest to find a mate, exposing them to many dangers such as hawks and skunks, cars on the road, and people.

 

The service reminds people to be kind if they see tarantulas out and about. They advise the public to help them across the road with a piece of cardboard or magazine.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/extinct-giant-spider-rediscovered-army-143148736.html

 

"A giant spider which was feared extinct in the UK has been rediscovered at an army training centre after not being spotted for over 25 years.

The Great Fox-Spider is Red-listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ and was feared extinct in the UK as it hadn’t been seen since 1993."

 

What a previously thought of as extinct, giant spider, may look like...

I wish this damned thread would die already. Much like I would like to see every single one of these ****s sent straight back to hell where they crawled their creepy asses out from.

But I digress, carry on.

 

When you account for the variety of food types they consume and their sheer abundance, spiders are some of the most important invertebrate predators in terrestrial ecosystems.

 

There is an ancient proverb: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Spiders are our friends! They eat many insects that pester or even harm humans, including mosquitoes that can transmit deadly diseases like Zika virus, West Nile virus, malaria, dengue, and yellow fever. In fact, two species of jumping spiders, Evarcha culicivora and Paracyrba wanlessi, are known as “mosquito terminators,” preferring to eat mosquitoes over other prey. Spiders that prey on mosquitoes directly lower the numbers of these pests, and can help reduce the spread of mosquito-borne disease.

 

Spiders also indirectly benefit humans by consuming agricultural pests—including aphids, grasshoppers, leafhoppers, beetles, and caterpillars—that feed on the fruits, leaves, stems, and seeds of crops that we harvest for food. Reductions in pest abundance by spiders have led to decreased crop damage, which can help increase yields.

They're also in your car. Got one near the vents today. Black Widows weren't much of a problem this year. Made sure my bros fiancees dogs didn't wander too far off towards the nest area under the deck. It's  a constant  battle here though, right on the edge of the woods
