Well, Mexico has the largest number of tarantula species (66) in the world :D But we did not see them on the coast either. You have to go further up in the inland to see them ;) Btw I saved some nice spider shots for the second part too haha ;)
I cannot wait to check out your wildlife photo series Eve! :)) Good luck!
oohh looking forward to those! I used to be very scared of spiders, but living in the tropics kinda cures that LOL. Tarantulas are my exception though they are just too big not to bescary. Scorpions also...urgh. OK will post some pics soon =)
