What a great critter post.. I love the cute Quail family.. And the Spider are cool, not too sure about a tarantula. UUGH!! Great post and photos. Thank you for sharing your post with my critter party.. Have a happy weekend!
Beautiful pictures! I especially like the 4th one.
Have a great month!
These critters are lining up to make their appearance.
Great desert lives.
I haven't seen a tarantula here, but did see one when we went up to Mogollon and rented a cabin two years ago. He was resting on one of the logs by the door where one entered and never moved. Seeing your saguaros, I know you are in the southern half of the state. Loved your photos. Looks like the perfect trail on which to walk!
I always have lots of tarantulas around my home at this time of the year,
I accidentally killed a baby while trying to get it out of the house. I felt bad. I like them because they eat scorpions !
cheers, parsnip
Wonderful photos from your walk. The spiders aren't my favorite critters, but your shots of them are great.
I have seen all of these except the spiders on my trip to Arizona. I'm thinking I am glad that I didn't see the spiders even though I think they are great and interestng in pictures. I have held a tarantula. They are more like furry little pets, but the others I know nothing about. Wonderful pictures, Diane ...

Oh, hello Mr. Ground Squirrel!!!!! You are such a doll. Love the flora and fauna, but the spiders, not so much!!!!! Lolol. The tunas on the cactus are so gorgeous. Now we know where we got the color MAGENTA!!! ;)
Great capture, I like the quails.
Though I don't really mind spiders, tarantulas give me the creeps! :-)Love the quail family!
Wonderful series!
Lovely photos!

A great series of photos! The nature is so beautiful. The photos of the spiders are gorgeous although I wouldn´t like to have them around my home ;)
Wonderful blend of photos… I'm partial to the quail (I call them bobble-heads) and adore the tarantula … I didn't know tarantula ate scorpions! Hmmm…I wonder if I could find someone who breeds tarantulas? And, if so, I wonder how I might entice one to stay in our back yard and eat our annoying scorpions! LOL
Hope you remember me (had the blog Artistique on blogspot but moved to wordpress) - have seen the prcikly pear in the grocery store - is it worth eating? And how do you prepare it for eating?
Am disturbed about what is happening at the AZ and TX borders - I hope your state is able to do something about it!
Great photos. I really like the spiders and tarantulas. Those guys don't get enough press!
I'm horrified of spiders but the others are great shots!
It is such a different ecosystem in the desert!
