Tarantula season returns to Texas

Every fall, Texas brown tarantulas start popping up all over the state as they leave their underground nests in search of a mate. Even if you’re not a fan of spiders, it’s hard not to notice these furry, surprisingly gentle giants wandering around—especially if you’re out at places like Lake Kemp. They’re mostly harmless and play a big role in the local ecosystem, but their sudden appearance can definitely be a shock! How do you feel about sharing your backyard with these eight-legged neighbors? Anyone brave enough to pick one up? #Science #TexasWildlife #TarantulaSeason
