I can't load the second picture, but usually (usually) when you find a tarantula in the open or in a house or backyard, it's a male looking for females to breed with. Females generally make a hole and stay in it, except when they're either hunting (which is usually done at the edge of their burrow) or displaced by rain flooding their burrow, or predators/pests driving them away.</p></blockquote><p></p>
