Annual La Junta Tarantula Festival kicks off Friday

🕷️ Tarantula Migration in La Junta, Colorado! 🕷️ Every fall (mid-September to October), hundreds of male Aphonopelma hentzi—Colorado’s native brown tarantulas—emerge from their burrows in the Comanche National Grassland to search for a mate. This “migration” isn’t a move to new territory—it’s a mating journey! The females stay safely underground, while the males wander up to a mile across the plains. 🌅 Best time to spot them: Around dusk on warm, calm evenings. 📍 Where: Highways 109 & 350, V

This past fall I joined Tyler from Spider Shoppe and Nate from Microwilderness in La Junta, CO to attend the Tarantula Fest. This annual festival celebrates the tarantula "migration" that takes place every fall as the male Aphonopelma hentzi, aka Colorado Brown or Texas Brown or Oklahoma Brown Tarantula, emerge from their burrows and start traveling dozen, even hundreds of feet per day, searching for female tarantulas to mate with. There were presentations, tours, movies, parades, concerts, food

Photos of the Tarantula Migration Through a Small Town in Colorado

Fall is tarantula migration time at Mesa Verde! Common places to see them include the Spruce Tree House Overlook and the trail to Long House, but they may turn up anywhere. Starting around late September or early October, male tarantulas wander through the landscape looking for a mate, searching for females in their burrows. Romance is a risky business for the males. They may wander for miles searching for a willing female, only to die from cannibalism or sheer exhaustion. Another hazard are tar

No, it's not a spider invasion: What to know about brown tarantula mating season

We’re in the land of tarantulas and it’s the very end of their annual “migration”. The phenomenon is not actually a mass migration at all, but rather a seasonal journey undertaken by mature male tarantulas. Most of the short-lived males will die during or after the journey, but the female tarantulas can live 20 to 30 years. A pretty cool annual event and one that I’m glad to have caught a glimpse of 🕷️ #tarantula #spidercountry #tarantulamigration #desertspider #nomadlife #tarantulaspiders | Co
