Had some time off yesterday that was unexpected, so I took advantage of the freedom and struck out on a hunt. A few of you have expressed an interest in coming this way, so I wanted to scout out some areas. Tried first on some private land I had permisson on...one lonely male was all I found. Then I headed to a park not too far from here. Stopped in first to talk to the ranger on duty to ask. Turned out to be very enlightening...he was MORE than happy to tell be about the Oklahoma browns (A. hentzi) in the region. Said I was the first person in his 10 years on duty to even ask him about tarantulas. And the guy knew his stuff! He told me that in mid to late September, he see's 100' and 100's of T's, both male and female, and he knew how to identify that, as well. I asked if I could take some specimens if I found any and he said I was more than welcome to. Guess the asking first part was the key. He was very cordial to me...thanks Mark
I had my hands full toting water and other things, and I was by myself. Wandered about a mile or so in, found about 10 burrows that turned up empty, then found one that wasn't! I'm including a pic of the surroundings and the burrow so you guys can see and the cutie I found.
Miss S? (pitbullady)...this one's yours! I'll let her chill out for a few days and then she's heading your way!
