Insects

This really has nothing to do with MCS but I had to share. I have been busy with my computer for a couple of days adding an external drive for storage so although I have plenty of topics to discuss my day is coming to a close. It has been monsoon season here in the sonoran desert and with it comes our second growing season and rebrith of many creatures. The rattlers are out and about, the birds and bats are singing and flying. I have seen plenty of hummingbirds a few deer, coyotes, roadrunners, and lizards but the most interesting for me is watching the different insects. We have had eleven Praying Mantis on our three windows tonight. They are spending their time catching insects. This is the most I have ever seen here. I had a tarantula in our garage that I removed to the great outdoors, a huge one crawling on our window, outside, and one that I removed from my daughter's classroom for her teacher. I have killed a black widow, outside, at our front door, and a brown widow, outside, at our backdoor. I cannot leave out all of the wolf spiders that have been in and out of our house this past month. This morning I had a striped lizard that looked like a rattlesnake's rattle that freaked me out. Not to mention uncountable gambel quail and antelope jackrabbits. See, as I said it has nothing to do with illness, just the everyday creepy-crawlers of the desert. The cutest of all are the little baby quails following their parents, Hope you all have a great night.
