Came across this little bunch of dandelions right outside the fence of the Crescent Dunes Solar Reserve. Love it when I can get some insects in the photos. This one flower at the prettiest little moth in it but unfortunately the photo was blurred and the moth didn't stay.

Found at the Crescent Dunes near Tonopah NV. I know that there are at least two scarab beetles on the endangered list here but don't know if this is one of them? There seemed to be an abundance of them scurrying around on the dunes.

First time I have seen this kind of lizard here. I have a surplus of the sagebrush lizards around my yard but none look like this one. I am thinking it is a Leopard Lizard? He has spots throughout with pale yellow stripes.

I thought at first sight these were two Golden Eagles, but way to small. Maybe a dark morph ferruginous hawk but I think still to small. Then I saw the red tail.....Is there a dark morph Red Tail Hawk? To bad I can't post a video because I took two great ones of these two individuals.

There are two of these in my Vegetable garden and they both have the most beautiful blue tails. I have some Western Whiptails around here so I am thinking these are young western whiptail lizards as they are small but never have seen any with blue tails like this. This individual is probably about 8" Long, give or take. This one also has a big black splotch in front of his back legs.

I was observing the tarantula hawks when this wasp appeared. He wasn't into standing still for a photo so this was the only clear photo I was able to get. Anyone know what kind of wasp?

Kingbirds have a strong sense of parenthood and take exceptional care of there young and discard any fear, regardless of the danger, to protect them. I have been bopped in the back of my head several times when they feel you are to close. I was weeding in an area where this one had nested and she was concerned for her full nest of babies.

I was just wondering if Nevada had Mariposa Lilies. I saw some beautiful ones in California while visiting my sister, @gbentall . Ask and you receive! I came across these lilies scattered in the foothills of Big Smoky Valley. Unsure as to if they are the Sego Lily or the leichtlins lily?
