On a recent visit to a local pumpkin patch with my Gitrl Scout troop, we spotted a visitor climbing up and over the hay bale. In the Autumn these are spotted on the road, and about as the male tarantulas that are 10 years or older go on a hunt for a mate. One popped into the open door at the store my brother works, he had to catch it in a cup to take outside. I've seen about a hundred of these in the last month. An interesting Autumn capture I'd thought I share with you. In the close up shot, I added another phot of the same spider.
