Last night we got a lot of rain. Today I notice a lot more varieties of beetles around. There are also a lot of beetles,but of course, no bug around the light trap during the night of rain.
The evening is filled with the sounds of crickets and other insect noises.
There are flowers and the obligatory pollinators.
The cactus flowers are some of the prettiest, but there are many other desert flowers, of course.
I was surprised to see this circada out in the desert.
The evening was the best. We saw all our usual animals, but much closer, AND got pictures!
This dunce was being watched by its mother, but hadn't learnt to be scared of people. we couldn't have been 10 feet from it.
This little muskrat was an amazingly fast swimmer. Didn't like being in the beam of a flashlight, of course.
