Description
The creepy, crawly critters have been spotted around San Diego lately with people posting on social media, wondering, “What kind of spiders are they?”
“I thought, ‘Oh my God! What is that thing?’ I mean they were huge,” said MaryDawn Perry, who was startled Monday when she found two spiders floating in her friend’s swimming pool near Grossmont College. “When they were in the water, they looked like baby juvenile tarantulas, they were huge!”
Sometimes mistaken for small tarantulas, ‘trapdoor spiders’ are native to Southern California.
