Some Photos from the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area, Arizona
September 19, 2019

This morning a Roadrunner hopped up on this rusty wire and posed for me briefly. Nice light!

Another Mantid, this one is on the windshield of the truck.

Tiger of the Night.

I saw a couple of Common Poorwills on the road.

This is a new one for me, a Whip Scorpion or Vinegaroon. Not to be confused
with the Wind Scorpion, neither of which is a true scorpion, but it is an arachnid.
About three inches long, they can spray acetic acid through glands at the base of the
tail to deter predators.
