Photos from the Ajo and Organ Pipe National Monument Area
Empress Leilia, a type of hackberry butterfly. In the canyon where I photographed this, there were some spiny hackberry trees, the only ones I've seen.
Rock Squirrel posing for me
Orange Skipperling
Acanthus family, genus Justicia, not sure of species
A Tiger Whiptail, new species of lizard for me. These things are very fast and wary, hard to get any photos of, so this isn't the best.
I think this is a species of Scorpionweed, not sure though.
Coursetia, a flowering legume shrub.
