Arizona has some unique bugs, have you seen any?
Any guesses on this one? Comment below!
Most places have bugs/insect/wildlife that are native to their environment and Arizona is no different since we are a desert. A lot of people think we are extremely hot all the time and that is far from the truth. Here is the Wikipedia definition of the Sonoran Desert.
The Sonoran Desert includes 60 mammal species, 350 bird species, 20 amphibian species, over 100 reptile species, 30 native fish species, over 1000 native bee species, and more than 2000 native plant species. The Sonora Desert area southwest of Tucson and near the Mexican border is vital habitat for the only population of Jaguars living within the United States.
Here is a field guide to the “Nature Study in the Sonoran Desert”.
I find these in my swimming pool sometimes. No they don’t know how to swim, they are dead when I find them. I think they are called solifugae. But iI have always called them sun spiders.
