There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.

Myself and SCABIES are working on keeping a list of what mygalomorph spiders can be found in which of the 50 states (plus the District of Columbia). We have finished a sort of version 1.0 of the list.
As of right now (June 14, 2009) mygalomorphs can be found or have somehow been reported in all but 7 states:
DE, IA, ME, ND, NH, VT, and WY
It is possible that there are mygs in at least some of these states, but no easily googleable records have been found so far.
To see the data in a tabular format, including species, genus, and family counts for all the states go cacoseraph's webpage: http://cacoseraph.exofire.net/ntmygs/ntmygs_usa.php
(my website seems to go down a distressing amount... i might be forced to relocate... that link really does work at least some of the time)
I hope people find this interesting or useful. I hope this possibly stimulates some interest in people's respective local mygalomorphs. SCABIES will continue to update this list as we come into more information. SCABIES is also working on a collection of "reports" for all the native species of ntmygs found in the United States which can be found here: http://scabies.myfreeforum.org/forum49.php
SCABIES has other projects in various stages of planning and execution including a picture ID guide and key to ntmygs, so keep on checking back with us to see what we have been up to! _________________
