Tarantula


We can now add tarantula to the wildlife we have seen at Desert's Edge. Fortunately, this stunning creature was outside, unlike the pack rats who took over the attic. I think I have won the battle with the pack rats, thanks in part to Desert Wildlife.

This tarantula was especially impressive because instead of the usual black back, this one was honey-colored.

After the paparazzi harassment ceased, the tarantula continued its fascinating eight-legged march into the desert behind our house.
