I found this tarantula in the Arizona forest back in 2014. My dad shared this picture with me today since I got into Ts since then and I’m also camping there again.
Proper identification of American tarantulas starts with where they are found because there are many that look exactly the same. Where specifically in Arizona was this one found?
 
Do you recall which forest? There are more than one species with a black carapace found in AZ, so location matters for species ID.

The Prescott national forest. I’m guessing near the same time of year as I never recalled going on a hunt any sooner than October. Surprisingly I can’t find a thing despite it still being somewhat warm in the middle of the day.

Sorry just saw this! I replied the the same question above but long story short. Prescott national forest.
