While the tarantula is the most menacing looking, it is perhaps the most docile, harmless and are not aggressive. Legend has it they are good luck.

 

Did I say aggressive? Now here's an example of one we chased from our backyard!

 

Not so aggressive? This baby diamondback was sleeping under our porch chair one morning.

 

Even had to "rescue" a diamondback from our front courtyard fountain!

 

Can you see him hiding? We almost did not!

Arizona Critters


Arizona and the southwest are home to many critters not found back in the Midwest.

We have experienced some of them either while going for a walk, relaxing in the backyard and even in the "safety" of our home!
