This month, thousands of tarantulas are set to embark on their annual migration through Colorado, captivating nature enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike. This event, often described as a mating ritual by Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials, features male tarantulas traversing the vast Comanche National Grassland in search of a mate.

The peak viewing period for this extraordinary spectacle is mid-September, with the best spots located near the Comanche National Grassland, south of La Junta, Colorado.

The City of La Junta is embracing this natural phenomenon by hosting the second annual Tarantula Festival on September 29 and 30 in Downtown La Junta. Festival-goers can look forward to a variety of activities, including a lively parade, food trucks, educational pavilions, and tarantula tours. The festival promises an exciting lineup of events that celebrate both the tarantulas and the unique wildlife of Colorado.

The tarantula migration has become an increasingly popular attraction, drawing visitors from across the country. To ensure a safe and respectful experience, La Junta, in collaboration with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, has provided guidelines for tarantula viewing.

These guidelines encourage enthusiasts to observe the tarantulas without disturbing them. Although tarantulas may appear intimidating, their bites are non-toxic to humans and are comparable to a bee sting. However, the spiders are vulnerable to injury if mishandled.

Researchers from Colorado State University have identified three main species of tarantulas in southeastern Colorado: the Chamberlin, Colorado chocolate brown, and Oklahoma brown tarantulas. These arachnids thrive in prairie environments, with females typically staying close to their burrows for most of their lives, which can span up to 25 years.

For those interested in experiencing the tarantula migration firsthand, the Tarantula Trek website offers a comprehensive guide with tips and information on the best viewing locations. Don’t miss out on this incredible natural event that highlights the beauty and wonder of Colorado’s unique wildlife.
