Same tarantuala from last fall, with his Gastrophryne cohort
Male Tarantula (Aphonopelma sp.; Theraphosidae), Panoche Valley, San Benito Co., CA - November 2009.
Female found under a rock in the late afternoon. She mover very little and was missing two left legs. Body length 65mm.
I first found this male in the middle of the road. After a few photos I was able to get it off the road and into a safer place for more photos.
From some researching I believe I have the species correct.
San Diego County has three species of tarantula
