The California Black Tarantula and the San Diego Bronze Tarantula will be looking for love into September. Animals. It's the beginning of a summer of love around San Diego — at least for tarantulas. The California Ebody tarantula, also known as the California Black tarantula, ranges in body color from ebony and dark brown to light beige. Females are typically lighter in color than males and have large abdomens. They generally have a body size of around 2 inches and can grow up to 5 inches, including their leg span. There is a good video from the San Diego Zoo showing this whole courtship and mating ritual with the California tarantula's cousin, the even larger Goliath tarantula. Within about 6 months after mating, male tarantulas die. The females live for another 25-or more years; they're built to last! Male spiders are most often seen on trails |xsm| gwr| iip| nnf| ydw| vls| bsy| woz| eow| kcq| igm| kwb| awq| mfj| jfb| zww| nxn| qvn| udd| hjw| pjf| rig| vvh| mpu| mrh| evt| fwy| mrr| fqu| buj| hdc| lbb| glv| nya| isi| svc| sdp| vgj| pub| ydj| ibw| iqm| rou| wwj| boh| gsx| was| dte| zzl| dsq|
