It is not everyday that you get a phone call to do an interview on a tarantula video you took… on an extreme heat day, but we took the call and did the interview. Stay tuned for the video on Spectrum News.
Despite its reputation as a kissing magnet at Christmas, this is a rootless parasite that sucks water and nutrients from native trees. Birds carry the sticky seeds from tree to tree. This plant is easiest to spot on trees that lose their leaves in the fall since it stays green. While, it may be fun to hang in the doorway, collecting mistletoe from our parks is illegal.
We saw this tarantula in Chino Hills State Park yesterday. It is mating season, so give them the space they need to find “the one.” Check out how it hunkers down in between rocks!
