We have a lot of tarantulas crawling around here in October.I guess they are trying to find a mate. They normally don’t scare me but I was shoeing one away from the patio one time and that sucker took off like lightning. I always thought they were slow moving. Then we have the tarantula hawks that paralyze them and lay an egg on it so there young can eat. They’re pretty big as well.

" I always thought they were slow moving."

I hate to break this to you, but tarantulas from San Antonio TX can jump at least six feet.

Thanks for making me think that winters aren’t really that bad here in northern Michigan. We have pretty benign small creepy crawlers and we survive the mosquitos.
