Looks like a male Tuscan Blonde Tarantula. Males do not live as long as the females do.
If you are referring to Aphonopelma chalcodes, then correct.
Otherwise a common name, like Tarantulas, and not accurate, or correct, if found.
Common in Arizona.

Bill,
Yes that is what I meant. I was at one time a member of the A.T.S. (American Tarantula Society). It has been a while, surprised I still remembered.

Memory lasts, the maps get misplaced.
This site is a good refresher for natural science.

Bill, did you live in California and were you ever a member of the A.T.S.?
Except Air Force in late 60's, lifelong Marylander, Annapolis.
Have raised this kind of creature, other Arthropods, small mammals, birds and large Herps most of my life.200 lb pound snake, to 40 inch caiman, monitors, you name it.
Never joined a society for any.
Too busy caring for them and giving talks.
Bill Hopkins.
Nice to meet you.

Probably one of those damned tarantula hawks laid her eggs in the poor fellow.
No. Then she would have dragged it down an earthen burrow to feed a larva.
Also may be recently dead. No ants or damage from them yet.
Who knows cause of death.
Old age?

Ok, I thought I'd take chance. I was a member for many years and there was a guy named Bill, not sure of his last name, he was also a member. He lived in California. I used to talk to him often. Life hits us all differently, i was diagnosed with MS, about 22 years ago. I have been out on disability for the last 3 years. I walk with a cane and have severe numbness on my left side. I also suffer from what they call cognitive dysfunction (short term memory loss). I thought there was a chance it might be you. Nice to meet you, be well, enjoy.
Thanks,
Mike

Shame it died. These make good 'pets'.
Docile and large, one of the more popular 'Tarantulas' in the 70's.
Tho Tarantulas are European, the name has been applied to these "Hairy Mygalomorphs", as they are known, too.
The largest, in S. A., are 10 inches in leg span and eat birds.
Eaten, they "taste like lobster".

They do not eat birds, they are not that big. I have one. It is called a Goliath Birdeater, but it does not eat birds. With its legs outstretched it barely fits on a dinner plate
