Rare Full-Length Tarantula Mating Ritual in Colorado Grasslands | Male & Female Tarantulas Mating

When we aren’t working, we like to sneak in quick little staycations where we can. This weekend’s adventure brought us to Lu Junta, Colorado for our 2nd ever TarantulaFest experience- an event hosted by the city to celebrate the annual Tarantula “migration” (mating) of the Oklahoma/Colorado Brown Tarantulas. It’s a fascinating experience and one we HIGHLY (and unexpectedly) recommend!
In this rare and fascinating video, watch as a male Colorado Brown tarantula embarks on a captivating journey in the Comanche National Grasslands, near La Junta, Colorado, in search of a female in her burrow. Experience the complete tarantula mating ritual from start to finish as the male finds the female, drums at the burrow’s entrance, and the female emerges for this intimate encounter. A must-see for arachnid enthusiasts and nature lovers, this detailed footage provides a unique look at tarantula behavior in their natural habitat.
Don’t miss out on this incredible, rarely-seen footage of tarantulas in the wild!
