Tarantulas are out and about during October more than any other month of the year. Almost without exception I see at least one tarantula each year while out on my weekly hike and more often than not such sightings occur during the autumn between late September and early November. For some reason I experience a strange compulsion to write songs to commemorate these sightings. In fact, these are links to each of the songs I've written celebrating tarantula encounters:

Tarantula 2012	Tarantula Instrumental	Terrible Tarantula
Tarantula 2009	Tarantula 2008	Tarantula 2006
Tarantula 2005	Daypack Song	Tarantula!

It's fortuitous that I post these tarantula song/videos shortly before Halloween since big, scary spiders are quite appropriate this time of year.
