I had missed it completely.
The napping tarantula hanging from the wall of the sandstone grotto.
Behind the sleepy gray fox.
My fellow camera trapper and Cal Fish & Game biologist Craig Fiehler pointed it out to me.
It seems the spider joined the fox in its high noon siesta.
It just hung there peacefully for at least a half hour.
Just wanted to pointed it out.

I never would have thought a tarantula would hang out like that. Such a photographically productive grotto.
I bet that gray fox would try to eat a tarantula, but the tarantula is better off that it didn't pick a cave with a white-nosed coati in residence:

Maybe the tarantula was trying to decide how big his appetite and cojones were... :)

Thanks RM -- Great footage of the coati, who had no problem with the uticaceous hairs. Must have been a tame subject for that kind of footage.
Jason, that's a fine specimen of a bushy-tailed wood rat you have there. And by the way, here are about six species of wood rats in Colorado.
