Joined a while ago, but here's my first post on Bluesky! This pic was taken at Fall Crawl 2024 in New Hampshire! It was a great weekend of camping, wheeling, food, campfires, etc! For more info, visit their site: nea4wd.org #NEA #FallCrawl

This week we spotted a #tarantula on its #fallcrawl at Jasper Ridge! All of California’s native #tarantulas are in the genus #Aphonopelma, family #Theraphosidae. In the fall, males are often seen wandering in search of females which are waiting in burrows waiting for a mate. 🧵
