This original property owner allowed us to share rental space for a weekend of high desert RV camping....Bride says.. "don't worry , it's dead , move it along".Tapped it with a twig... sprung out to its' full hairy glory. Wing span a little larger then my palm. It covered ground quickly. I slept with one eye open.;)ever wonder how many we don't see ? :B (BTW...I'm told these are harmless, awesome..but harmless.) Perfect weekend.Charles

May be harmless but just seeing that one makes my skin crawl. I am petrified of spiders. Hope I never see one like that. Macktee

OMG! Makes me glad I live in Indiana where we just have to deal with water moccasins!

Macktee... fortunately I don't suffer from arachnophobia... but, these are the visuals of nightmares for some. What surprised me.. how dang fast it was. Executed a lateral crab crawl at full speed. really, I'm told by spider lovers they really are harmless. Amazing eyes ! Charles

Wing span a little larger then my palm.I still trying to see it's wings. :BYep, most people couldn't imagine the number of nature's creatures, critters, etc., pass close by unseen or heard. :@

Brown Tarantula

they are not aggressive, do NOT normally bite man
and NOT deadly, but if you manage to get bitten , it is painful

I grew up in Indiana, still have family there
copperhead snakes in the blackberry bushes, and "brown recluse" Fiddler spider under the house

Charles, glad you posted that pic! My wife plans to spend some time in your area in April. Her brother has a Winter home in Mesa. She wants to take pics in the high desert areas and sight see in the Verde Valley, and Sedona area.

She hates spiders, so I showed your pic to her! I was hoping she'd change her mind about going. Not!! Oh well, at least I tried.

BTW, she has always enjoyed your camping pics.
