Photo by Robert Kanagaki, EBRPD\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When the sun sets in the Bay Area in October, you may notice large hairy spiders emerging from their homes for their once-in-a-lifetime quest. After 5 to 8 years spent in a solitary, nocturnal life — largely in a burrow subsisting on insects, frogs and perhaps even snakes or mice — the male \u003ca title=\"CA Tarantula brochure, EBRPD\" href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/Assets/files/Tarantulas_Brochure.pdf\">California tarantula\u003c/a> is mature and ready to find a mate. Roaming at dusk and after dark, sometimes in large numbers, the males go in search of a willing female. They hunt to find her silk-lined burrow marked with a scent indicating she’s looking for a mate. To prevent being accidentally trapped for a future meal, he uses his front legs to drum on her doorstep. There is a good video from the \u003ca title=\"San Diego Zoo, tarantulas mating video\" href=\"http://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/tarantula\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Diego Zoo\u003c/a> showing this whole courtship and mating ritual with the California tarantula’s cousin, the even larger Goliath tarantula. Within about 6 months after mating, male tarantulas die. The females live for another 25-or more years; they’re built to last!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Male spiders are most often seen on trails, roads and gardens with occasional appearances in residential homes and garages this time of year. When I began my career as a naturalist at Black Diamond Mines, I often encountered them in the parking lot as I left work in September and October. For those with \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnophobia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>arachnophobia\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, it can seem like some kind of autumnal plague. In reality, though, these spiders are gentle giants, especially as procreation is foremost on their minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_9838\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 210px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/10/Eddie-Willis-and-Tarantula-210x162.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9838\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9838\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/10/Eddie-Willis-and-Tarantula-210x162.jpg\" alt=\"Naturalist Eddie Willis at Black Diamond Mines handles a male tarantula found wandering the park.

Photo by Curtis Corlew, EBRPD\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tarantulas have a couple of defensive behaviors as they are sometimes considered food items by other animals. They defend themselves by rubbing or flicking irritating hairs off of their abdomen with their hind legs. If these get into any animals’ eyes, noses or mouths, it will be enough to dissuade them from eating the spider and can even cause blindness. Tarantulas also have large fangs with venom. Their bite hurts like a honeybee sting and some people experience a similar allergic reaction to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tarantula is susceptible to a wasp, called a tarantula hawk, which seeks them out. The wasp will sting the spider and drag it to an underground burrow. It then lays an egg on the paralyzed spider while it’s still alive. The larva of the tarantula hawk then consumes the fresh meal. It’s all part of nature’s balance — a female spider can produce 75 to 1,000 young per year — and the tarantula hawk helps control the numbers. You shouldn’t mess with tarantula hawks, though, as they have one of the most painful stings in nature (see \u003ca title=\"Schmidt Pain Index\" href=\"http://scienceblogs.com/retrospectacle/2007/05/16/schmidt-pain-index-which-sting/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schmidt’s Pain Scale\u003c/a> with its evocative descriptions of pain.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists are exploring uses for t\u003ca title=\"Potential Medical Uses of Tarantula Venom, YouTube\" href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPKfmLDxsGk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arantula venom\u003c/a>. There are apparently hold potential for treatments for Multiple Sclerosis and breast cancer. As Aldo Leopold so astutely put it, “…who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering.” Keeping a healthy, wild population of huge spiders might just benefit us in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can catch the hairy spider show any evening this fall. Areas within various \u003ca title=\"East Bay Regional Park District website\" href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">East Bay Regional Parks\u003c/a> from the Delta, south through Mt. Diablo and Sunol-Ohlone Wilderness have their fair share of them. In the Oakland hills, you’re more likely to see a different spider species, the \u003ca title=\"Spider ID, Nature.Berkeley.edu\" href=\"http://nature.berkeley.edu/~callobius/cbcstuff/common_spiders/big_spi_quilt.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">false tarantula\u003c/a>, which looks similar. If you encounter any of these tarantulas during your travels, remember that they’re just trying to carry out their spider business — they’re not out to get you! Give them a helping hand and let them carry on.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Photo by Robert Kanagaki, EBRPD\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When the sun sets in the Bay Area in October, you may notice large hairy spiders emerging from their homes for their once-in-a-lifetime quest. After 5 to 8 years spent in a solitary, nocturnal life — largely in a burrow subsisting on insects, frogs and perhaps even snakes or mice — the male \u003ca title=\"CA Tarantula brochure, EBRPD\" href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/Assets/files/Tarantulas_Brochure.pdf\">California tarantula\u003c/a> is mature and ready to find a mate. Roaming at dusk and after dark, sometimes in large numbers, the males go in search of a willing female. They hunt to find her silk-lined burrow marked with a scent indicating she’s looking for a mate. To prevent being accidentally trapped for a future meal, he uses his front legs to drum on her doorstep. There is a good video from the \u003ca title=\"San Diego Zoo, tarantulas mating video\" href=\"http://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/tarantula\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Diego Zoo\u003c/a> showing this whole courtship and mating ritual with the California tarantula’s cousin, the even larger Goliath tarantula. Within about 6 months after mating, male tarantulas die. The females live for another 25-or more years; they’re built to last!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Male spiders are most often seen on trails, roads and gardens with occasional appearances in residential homes and garages this time of year. When I began my career as a naturalist at Black Diamond Mines, I often encountered them in the parking lot as I left work in September and October. For those with \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnophobia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>arachnophobia\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, it can seem like some kind of autumnal plague. In reality, though, these spiders are gentle giants, especially as procreation is foremost on their minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_9838\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 210px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/10/Eddie-Willis-and-Tarantula-210x162.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9838\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9838\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/10/Eddie-Willis-and-Tarantula-210x162.jpg\" alt=\"Naturalist Eddie Willis at Black Diamond Mines handles a male tarantula found wandering the park.

Photo by Curtis Corlew, EBRPD\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tarantulas have a couple of defensive behaviors as they are sometimes considered food items by other animals. They defend themselves by rubbing or flicking irritating hairs off of their abdomen with their hind legs. If these get into any animals’ eyes, noses or mouths, it will be enough to dissuade them from eating the spider and can even cause blindness. Tarantulas also have large fangs with venom. Their bite hurts like a honeybee sting and some people experience a similar allergic reaction to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tarantula is susceptible to a wasp, called a tarantula hawk, which seeks them out. The wasp will sting the spider and drag it to an underground burrow. It then lays an egg on the paralyzed spider while it’s still alive. The larva of the tarantula hawk then consumes the fresh meal. It’s all part of nature’s balance — a female spider can produce 75 to 1,000 young per year — and the tarantula hawk helps control the numbers. You shouldn’t mess with tarantula hawks, though, as they have one of the most painful stings in nature (see \u003ca title=\"Schmidt Pain Index\" href=\"http://scienceblogs.com/retrospectacle/2007/05/16/schmidt-pain-index-which-sting/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schmidt’s Pain Scale\u003c/a> with its evocative descriptions of pain.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists are exploring uses for t\u003ca title=\"Potential Medical Uses of Tarantula Venom, YouTube\" href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPKfmLDxsGk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arantula venom\u003c/a>. There are apparently hold potential for treatments for Multiple Sclerosis and breast cancer. As Aldo Leopold so astutely put it, “…who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering.” Keeping a healthy, wild population of huge spiders might just benefit us in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Last week I gave a walking tour of the Hayward fault along the Oakland-Berkeley border. Among other things, I talked about the fault’s peculiar behavior called aseismic creep, in which the two sides of the fault move slowly past each other at just a few millimeters per year without the help of earthquakes. I pointed out places where creep has been gently distorting the streets. I explained that creep doesn’t remove much earthquake energy because it only affects shallow parts of the fault that can’t store much energy anyway. But I couldn’t say much more about it because geologists studying the creep problem have lots of questions, several hypotheses, and no answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_8037\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/09/stonewallfault.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8037\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8037\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/09/stonewallfault.jpg\" alt=\"Hayward fault creep\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The creeping Hayward fault crosses Oakland’s Stonewall Road in 2001.

The Sierra Nevada microplate rotates slightly and moves northwest at a few millimeters per year relative to the rest of the North America plate. California really \u003cem>is\u003c/em> different from its neighbors.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fault creep is quite uncommon in general, but a big central section of the San Andreas fault complex is creeping today while on either side the fault is locked, building up energy for large earthquakes like the 1906 quake in Northern California and the 1857 Fort Tejon quake in Southern California. The so-called creeping section runs from the village of Parkfield east of Paso Robles up to San Juan Bautista. Near there the Calaveras fault splits off from the San Andreas, and in turn the Hayward fault splits off from the Calaveras—and both of those faults also creep. See them shown in blue in this figure from the \u003cem>Geology\u003c/em> paper.

On its west side, the drip is still attached and pulling down on the crust. The result is that the southern Great Valley is at its widest and deepest there, in the Tulare geologic basin. If you think of the Earth’s crust across central California as an air mattress floating in a pool, imagine a swimmer grabbing it in the middle from below and pulling down.

There, most of the fault between the surface and its base at around 15 kilometers depth turns out weak and slippery, and only a narrow band of rock in the middle of that range has enough friction to gather a lot of strain energy. For the creeping section the model suggests a pattern of earthquakes no bigger than magnitude 6 or so, plus lots of creep. (In this picture the Bay Area is near the edge of that pattern, so while our faults creep they still are considered able to clobber us with magnitude-7 events.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So is any of this a scientific fact? Not yet; it’s just another good hypothesis that fits a variety of data but needs refinement.

There, most of the fault between the surface and its base at around 15 kilometers depth turns out weak and slippery, and only a narrow band of rock in the middle of that range has enough friction to gather a lot of strain energy. For the creeping section the model suggests a pattern of earthquakes no bigger than magnitude 6 or so, plus lots of creep. (In this picture the Bay Area is near the edge of that pattern, so while our faults creep they still are considered able to clobber us with magnitude-7 events.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So is any of this a scientific fact? Not yet; it’s just another good hypothesis that fits a variety of data but needs refinement. Scientific consensus is when everyone accepts a good hypothesis and moves ahead because they’ve run out of good counterarguments.
