MONDAY - RED ROCK CANYON
On my final day of the trip I wanted to see some amphibians, so I went to this very popular tourist destination.
It features several springs and creeks, like this one.
Red-spotted Toad.
Waterways often are a place where Cottonwood Trees can be found in the desert. And Spiny Lizards like spending time in Cottonwoods.
Flame Skimmer Dragonfly.
Tadpoles (probably for Red-spotted Toad).
Side-blotched Lizard.
I saw about two dozen Pacific Treefrogs, each one looked a little different.
I finished the trip of with the huge bug of the day: a Tooth Necked Borer Beetle.
See you next year, Las Vegas!
