Yikes! Bugs to make you run for your life! HaHa. Great shots. I was born in West Texas. Been gone for decades--thanks for the memories.

Thanks for all the comments. While hiking there I almost stepped on the Tarantula on the photo. Of course I had to capture that.

Hi Martha! That is the strangest looking Hopper I've ever seen! Beautiful colors and I love Trantulas!!! But you need to get you a Macro Lens and get closer!!!
Thanks for sharing these
