spiders everywhere

The change in weather must be the reason. I don't know, but I'm seeing these furry six leggers everywhere on the road.
Amy & I encountered this dude excuse me, dudette (Amy informed me this was a female) on her Grandparents road Sunday. Right after I took this one and we started down the road we saw another one!
I'm seeing at least one a day on my drive to work.

Are they looking for a place to nest, or is it breeding season or what? Any insight into the world of tarantulas out in blogland?She is quite lovely in a creepy sort of way I must admit.
