Yucky bugs of the Southwest!

Balancing Act

Balancing Act

I am not sure what kind of beetle this is.....

Sonoran Desert, outside of Tucson, AZ.

I have always been terrified of creepy crawlers.....and I still am. However, I find it strange, that when I have my camera with me, I tend to be more interested in photographing these creatures, instead of running from them.

I love to photograph the Southwest, namely the Sonoran Desert. I have since come across some strange and interesting creatures that I cringe at, then photograph. Some of them I have not been able to identify, yet.....

    I'm not a fan of creepy crawlers either, but you captured the beauty of these little creatures.
