Tarantula time

tarantula time
I cannot find a definitive source for the name of this common tarantula.
I have variously seen it refered to as Aphonopelma californicum, Eurypelma californicum; and Eurypelma californica. I have not even found a good reference for the common name.

egret with lizards
The egret spotted the lizards from far away and began to stalk them.
He did a waggle dance with his head
By following his gaze, it was easy to spot his intended target, even before predator and prey both fit on the same canera frame
