I was standing in a park with my running group in Phoenix recently, waiting to start our run, when I started feeling a burning sensation up the bottoms of my legs. I looked down to identify the cause, and guess what I saw…fire ants! They were running in droves, on the ground and grass around […]
This little guy was spotted hanging around the front door of one of our houses last week, so it inspired us to do another blog on the infamous palo verde beetles. We wrote about them once before, but due to their size, ability to fly, and overall ferocious look, we figured they were worth a […]

Instead of slowing down and hiding out for the summer, these guys are at their most active. How can you spot a carpenter […]
Everyone’s favorite house guests are back! It’s the summertime, and the house flies are out in full force. And though they like the heat, they don’t like it extreme or dry. The prospect of finding air conditioning, along with decomposing garbage in your trash bin (or yard, re: dog waste), are a combination of benefits […]
Ok, maybe not – Arizona Blonde Tarantulas tend to be solitary and docile despite their terrifying looks. We found this little one in our front yard a few weeks ago. Desert tarantulas are notoriously difficult to identify with certainty, but we think its an Arizona Blonde Tarantula. (Other common names for them include the Mexican […]
