idk y, but of any spider in the world, the latrodectus sp. scares me the most. If i see a wolf spider, huntsman, tarantula, or even a brazilian wandering (on tv) im fine, but the widows send shiver down my spine. Weird...

I just saw a large male of that species while out collecting pill bugs and millipedes for an hour through two different cities and in 43 degree weather an hour or so ago. Feels a lot colder out here all the sudden. Let me know if you're road trippin' with us! The forecast is actually sun and low 60's (hot down there, this time of year)!

 

[Webeviction]

Ya it's gotten really cold here the last couple days haha and ya I'm still planning on going along man. Lol 60 and sunny in that area? That's definetly a little odd for October!

Do you see any Plecoptera stoneflies? I haven't been able to find that Order this year. It's one of my goals for the upcoming trip.

 

[Webeviction]

Ya actually not to many usually see them down by the river.

I haven't commented on this thread yet, and I don't know why! Awesome pics and awesome finds! I am so envious of the fauna...like Rennae said, alls we ever find here are invasive species, and it gets old after awhile :/ ...I do sooo much scouting in the backyard its ridiculous, and always find neat things, but nothing compared to your pics...keep em comming! (And if I could, I would gladly join your road trip collecting adventure...sounds like a grand time!

All the best,

Andrew
