Is this normal?

Post by ck_1 »

Two weeks ago we hiked out Second Water to Garden Valley and saw a tarantula (Pat's first).

Yesterday we hiked Dutchman/Boulder Canyon/Second Water and saw 4 tarantulas. Pat's sister (new to AZ) asked if it was normal to see that many on the same hike. I said it sure wasn't normal for me, but I haven't explored the Sups as much as other areas...so I thought I'd ask the experts here at HAZ....do you usually see a lot of tarantulas this time of year?

man I hope that guy doesn't come across any cows!

anyhow, back to the topic
I saw a baby one today in the western Superstitions. Almost cute when they're small. Still don't move very fast.
