Tarantula Mating Season
Tarantula mating season is in late August through early fall, and during this time, male tarantulas leave their burrows searching for love. If you see them on the move, please admire from a distance, as with all wildlife. In addition to being venomous (though most people have a mild reaction similar to a bee sting), tarantulas also have urticating hair on their abdomen. If threatened, the tarantula will brush these hairs, which are irritating and barbed, toward its perceived attacker in defense.

Primavera Foundation
Thank you for the large quantity and good quality of donations received this summer. We have just been informed that Primavera has a big need for toilet paper and bath towels (used towels are OK without holes). Please see page 21 of the August Sun Catcher for the other needed items on their "Summer Essentials" list. These small acts of kindness can have a huge collective impact. The donation box continues to be located outside of the main entrance to the Center. Your past help is greatly appreciated.
