Bat guano has a very unpleasant odor! It seems you don't come across too many tarantulas in your field work? I hear conflicting reports about populations in CO. In your opinion, would you say numbers are in decline, steady or growing?
@BradJC70 - we do see them in CO, mainly in the fall crossing the roads. I just don't take the time to put them on film. I'm really guessing here since we don't keep data on inverts, but I'd say the population still seems healthy.
Might be a good place. I was in a shelterhouse that was filled with bats and there was a black rat snake just chillin' on the support beam chowin down on some bats.
hopefully you didnt give the bats the fatal whitenose syndrome and hopefully you didn't get tagged
