going down to Colorado springs for a week, can i hope to see any Aphonopelma? any other cool insects, arachnids, reptiles i could find?
havent gone looking much yet, im planning tuesday and wednesday to be my hunting days. im doing a bit of research on some nice parks to spend most of my time. Garden of the Gods (big park) looks promising and im planning tuesday to be spent there on some of the more rustic back trails. just wondering, scorpions do live in burrows as well, right?Have you found anything?
yeah it was a great trip, the mountains were awesome. i didnt find anything unfortunately but i did have fun looking. i didnt know Scolopendra lived in dry areas as well. thats news to me.Sorry, I don't check this subforum very often. I don't think there are any T's that far north. They're higher elevation than here in Denver and we get similar weather. The people I've spoken to around here who have seen T's usually reference closer to Pueblo and the southern state border.
I hope you enjoyed your stay! I have seen Scolopendra polymorpha around here and found a tiny pseudoscorpion under a large rock in the foothills years ago along with a nice looking L. hesperus. I rarely see a spider over 1/2" but I did finally see a decent sized Hognas species the other day.
