SATURDAY - ARIZONA
On the next day I returned to Arizona, mainly because I am a fan of their billboards.
I herped this area.
Dark Plateau Fence Lizard.
Light Plateau Fence Lizard.
Claret Cup Cactus.
A group of Yellow-bellied Bee Assassin Bugs were entertaining to watch as they ambushed bugs visiting these yellow flowers.
Collared Lizard.
Unidentified Whiptail.
Yellowspine Thistle.
Cliff Chipmunk
Later that night I saw this Gray Fox.
Mantid.
It was around 11:00PM and I hadn't come across any night time herps. I was so bored that I began taking pictures of signs that made no sense.
Then it happened - Lifer #5: Spotted Leaf-nosed Snake.
It was both odd and cool to finally see "in person" a snake I've only known from pictures for so many years. It was a great way to end the night.
