When I lived in DR many years ado I had a single instance in Sosua where a tarantula got into my condo - this was once in 2 years.
Now I am thrown for a loop because I read a post on a website about a woman who recalls having gone on a "jungle tour" in the "rain forest in DR.
During the tour she recounts the guide advising them to watch out for the trees because the tarantulas live there and if one landed on them to stay quiet until they could remove it. Then she goes on to say:
"Once inside the bathroom I did my duty & began to pull up my shorts. Why I decided to look up at that moment I'll never know, but I wished I hadn't as I couldn't pull up my shorts fast enough to get out of there. Up above me, crawling across the beams were 5 -10 tarantulas. I thought I was going to lose it!"
Ok so I don't recall there being a jungle in DR, a rainforest - though I did see a tarantula once.
- Can someone confirm if this is true?
- If so where in the country are they?
- I am visiting Jarabacoa this month and now I am freaked out - does anyone know if they are all over the place there?
