Please help identify this spider (tarantula )?????was driving on a small road in Logan New Mexico and spotted this spider i have seen many every time we travel here.
Hi. Tes, his looks to be a male Aphomopelma chalcodes,(desert blond tarantula) one of the tarantula family. Only other species in New Meico, might be Aphonopelma henzi (Texas black tarantula.)
