Tarantulas are on the move in California. Here's why you might see more giant spiders
Briefly

"Tarantula mating season runs from September through mid-November, when male tarantulas leave their dens in search of females, becoming more visible to trail walkers."
"Adult tarantulas can average five inches long with a leg span of up to 11 inches, making it easy to identify them based on size alone."
"The slow-moving, dark brown tarantulas can be spotted scuttling throughout most of California, especially in areas with lots of brush and sandy dirt."
"While tarantulas are present year-round, they are most active during their mating season in October, when sightings peak as males search for mates."
