CLOSE TO THE CREATURES WITH PAPA - MAMA TARANTULA
Who’s your mama?
There I was, hard at work putting in some fencing when suddenly, a mama Tarantula covered in babies!! I have saw a few wild Tarantulas since moving to Arkansas, but never a mama on the move with her babies.
When Mama-Tarantula keeps an eye (or eight) on her babied like this, it sure makes it a much better idea not to pick on her kids. Also, if anyone is expecting mail anytime soon from @papa-pepper, I may be throwing in a free “GROW YOUR OWN TARANTULA” kit! That should be fun! Who wants one?

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Nice one!
Yup, that's me.
One of my worst nightmare! haha Nice photos, by the way.
Thanks for still enjoying the photos.
I can't believe you left your head close enough to that creature to take a picture! I can only hope you captured and relocated it to some distant and wild location in consideration of nearby neighbors ;)
Yup, put her down in a safe place on your land. ;-)
Scary spiders, nice post!! Steem on!!
Once on a mission trip to mainland Honduras, a friend and I were leaning on a speaker which was sitting on a table stand. Afterwards, we moved the speaking and right behind it was a huge, like 3" tarantula. It scared the heck out of us Gringo's. We jumped and a teenage Honduran girl came over and stepped on it with her sandals. Kinda humiliating, but it was my first one.
That looks like hundreds of babies! not something I want to see in my yard.
Heeeellllll to the naw...to the naw naw naw...
lol very appropriate song for sure! that was funny
you kill enough of those little ones and this boss shows up!
I've played that game before.
Did you shoot those with a phone?
No, Canon VIXIA HF R500.
It was nearer sundown so they started to get a little grainier than I would like.
I have to go find me some creepy critters to shoot. Well, besides the people around here. I made a note of the camera you are using. Thanks again for the nice photos.
There are much better cameras than that model, but @winstonwolfe says canons are a good way to go!
Great to have a quality machine for your new line of work!
I REALLY enjoy this!
We can see that you enjoy it! It shows through!
I've been thinking of upgrading from my phone. Did you invest in it because of Steemit?
This is unbelievable papa! I have never seen one in the wild or carrying babies like that!
I saw a Wolf Spider mama like this last year.
We had a wolf spider in our house one evening and my brother freaked out! He ran to his room and put towels so the spider couldn't get under the door!
