What To Do If You Find a Radio-Tagged Tarantula

Tarantula Research:

Some male tarantulas in this area have small tags with individual numbers (either green or yellow tags). 

These tags are being used to track the movement of the males during the mating season as part of a research project conducted by Dr. C. Shillington from Eastern Michigan University (with permission from U.S. Forest Service and the Comanche District Ranger).  

If you see one of these tarantulas, please scan the QR code below to provide information on your sighting.

Your participation in this project is greatly appreciated.
