The Steel One | *WARNING* Tarantula Spotting! What Did We Find?/The Steel One @TheSteelOne | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Come along as Rich & Rachel return to La Junta Colorado to once again find Tarantulas!
Each fall, large numbers of tarantulas skitter across the landscape in La Junta and southeast Colorado. Yes, tarantulas!
While this phenomenon has traditionally been called a migration, it is actually an annual mating ritual performed by male tarantulas who roam across the 443,000-plus acres on the Comanche National Grassland looking to mate.
While there are numerous species of tarantulas, you are likely to spot the Oklahoma Brown Tarantula in La Junta.
This dark brown to black species of the genus Aphonopelma is common here because its females prefer to make their burrows in the plentiful undisturbed prairies on the Comanche National Grassland of Southeast Colorado. Once these females have made their burrows, they tend to stick close to them for the entirety of their lives, which can be 25 years long.
Be sure and check out @RichelleG featured the intro!
