… continued from Part 1 & Part 2.
We were discussing which other rattlesnakes we could possibly see on a hot, dry evening, and no sooner did the words “there’s no way we’ll see a tiger tonight” leave my mouth did we see a Tiger Rattlesnake, Crotalus tigris. Whoa! Of course I took way too many pictures.
Then we saw an angry young Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Crotalus atrox.
A big tarantula out looking for a mate or meal:
… and then another Black-Tailed Rattlesnake, Crotalus molossus.
We were pretty satisfied with this and called it a night after activity seemed to tail off. In the morning we got a couple shots of one of my favorite Arizona lizards on the way out, Yarrow’s Spiny Lizard, Sceloporus jarrovi.
The last picture for this trip was a very large moth we found doing its best lichen impression.
