Tarantulas and Migration

Tarantula migration is a seasonal occurrence in arid and desert locations. Although primarily an autumnal activity, migrations occur in summer in some locations, such as Texas. Tarantula migrations may be brief, spanning only one day. Other migrations can last for weeks.

Tarantula migration occurs most commonly when males go out in search of potential mates. Male tarantulas are known to travel great distances in order to establish breeding sites. Female tarantulas are less likely to be seen in open spaces, as they tend to reside within terrestrial or arboreal burrows. Following copulation, wandering males quickly depart to avoid becoming the prey of the newly fertilized female.
