Tens of thousands of tarantulas are about to hit the roads (literally) across the Southwest and West for their annual mating season. If you’re hiking or camping in places like California, Texas, or Colorado, you might spot these big, fuzzy spiders on the move. Don’t worry—they’re mostly chill, but don’t pick them up (those hairs sting!). Fun fact: males go on this epic journey to find love, but usually die after. Nature is wild! #Science #TarantulaSeason #WildlifeWatch
