This tarantula is living in a burrow in the lawn and surrounded by daytime activities by humans and a dog... and it emerges at night... Interestingly, it has a light brown colouring and not black or dark as I would have expected for a Mexican Red-rumped Tarantula but I have not (yet) had a good view of the rump...
cf.affinis, troisième segment des filières plus court
Spider wasp was dragging this along the trail, can’t tell if it’s a turret spider or false tarantula. Help!
Unfortunately I don’t have a photo that shows it clearly, but I do believe there is a saddle depression on the third leg.
Out after a heavy rain.
