Of course there's that. We are nearing the end of the month and a half
season when the male tarantulas check for mates and cross the highway.
It's the only time to really see and catch them without being an
entomologist. I prefer tarantulas too. I tend to see far more tarantulas
than tarantula hawks. The population of both is stable here in Northern
Nevada.
