I liked the tarantula pic showing the bowl-shaped hole. I hadn't actually realized that tarantulas occurred that far east. Nice post!

Hello Bill!

Hey, is Rodger a Husky/G.Shepard mix?

No, Ruger, Huacho and Medina are all full blood Australian Cattle Dogs or as we call them, Blue Heelers

Great pictures. Gussing from your photos and topics, you are more of an Invert guy. Have you taken any formal entomology courses, or is it just a hobby? I love bringing a UV light when night herping, because almost all scorps glow.

For the past three years we have put on a little "wingding" here in Southern MO. This year we had it in the first weekend in June. Here are the results.

Talk about a motley crew!

Look closely here. There was 2 Aphonopelma hentzi living under the same rock!

Centruroides vittatus

See this stone?

Underneath is an Aphonopelma hentzi preparing to molt

Note the shallow bowl shaped scrape that the spider has prepared

This is a typical tarantula burrow underneath the rocks....

This would be the Aphonopelma hentzi that lives there

At night we had this visitor
