Re: Arizona Field Pics 2012
Beautiful Pictures. My favorite is the tarantula on the road; menacing and serine in the same shot. On the picture of the chrysalis, was it that color or was it side lit from the sun? Last, it is interesting to think in the pic of the tarantula and the wasp, that the tarantula is the hunted. Thanks for sharing.

Man you have some awesome wildlife in the area. Thanks for sharing. I especially love the flying bug thing on the stick (what is it?), It is the pic after what looks like a rattlesnake in the bushes

I was at the American Tarantula Society's annual conference in Tucson for a few days in July. Some of the pics are from surrounding areas as we were entering or leaving the Tucson area.

That is an asilid (robber fly). They're an amazing arial predator of other insects. Quite photogenic too.
