Do camel spiders live near Abilene?

Question

I know that camel spiders live in SE Washington, E Oregon, S Idaho, E California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, SW Colorado, New Mexico, and I have seen them near Midland, Texas. I want to know if they live in Abilene, TX.

Thx for the help!

Answer 1

Howdy!  I have seen bunches of spiders here in Mineral Wells, but never a carmel spider.  Haven't even heard of them.  It wouldn't suprise me if they do.  If they live near Midland, then they should be all over the great State of Texas.

Answer 2

They are not common, but from what I have read, it is possible.
