These live in Arizona, too. I used to find them on prickly pear cactus. Nice photos!

@KarenL, Thanks again for the info!! You've been really helpful tonight :) @Steffi, you only have to come to central Florida, the spiders are everywhere!! You could always go to Disney if you have time left over after spider hunting :)
