Bad enough enormous Asian Wasps have been taking over China and reported in the U.S., now its mating season for one of the scariest creepy crawlers out! Male Tarantulas have been crawling out of their creeping space in search of nothing but pure, love and affection as mating season is in full effect for the spiders, hit the jump or more detail!
California seems to be the home of the tarantulas as its warm climate
caters to the long legged insect!
“This weekend or next weekend is going to be the biggest spider movement of all,” Al Wolf, director of the Sonoma County Reptile Rescue told CBS News Saturday. “All the males will be looking for the girls so it’s gonna be eight-legged love.”
“Male tarantulas mostly live underground in burrows, but during mating season, their lust brings them up to the outside world in search of females, who are waiting in their own burrows,” reports HuffPost
The sexual healing process of the spiders is a very technical and calculated one as the “males carry their sperm on the outside of their bodies” where “they weave a “sperm web,” keeping the sperm until they find the lady tarantula of their dreams”. How romantic!
