Fun Wildlife in the Arizona Mountains

Tweet

I grew up in Arizona and have lived here all my life. I have rarely seen crazy wildlife, such as scorpions and spiders, but recently I moved into an apartment that is right off the mountains off of the Black canyon freeway. We have so much cool wildlife here. We have red-spotted toads, scorpions, camel/sun spiders and a bunch of other stuff. I remember as a kid, finding the toads and putting them in buckets during the monsoon season. We never kept them, just looked at them. And now, we have them where I am at now and the kids are loving seeing all this cool stuff. We had rain a few weeks ago and ever since then, almost every night, there are one or two toads outside my front door. It is pretty awesome. I am not as excited about the scorpions, but hoping to see some tarantula’s during tarantula season!
