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 :)
Gaahh another spider on my "wish list"! You are so lucky, Darwinist!
I only know because I spotted one myself a couple of days ago! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7259013
