Texas Tarantula Taking a Drink




As menacing as they look...these guys are docile and I must say...pretty darn cool!

  2. Thank you Chris! Amazing creatures and they live a long life. During the fall, Mexican Brown Tarantulas get rather active during their mating season. Many of them roam dozens upon dozens of yards looking for a mate. This particular spider was cruising a natural spring fed stream on the hunt. I've never witnessed one drinking water and this is my first encounter.
