We went for a walk down our road on Thursday evening, and came across an Ornate Box Turtle walking across the road! They are native to this corner of Arizona, but they are described as secretive and difficult to find. I didn't even know there were turtles around here until I did some internet research trying to figure out what kind of turtle it was. Apparently it's against the law to even pick one up.
Then, while we were observing the turtle on the road, a huge tarantula came walking down the road right towards us! The tarantula ignored us and the turtle and just walked on past. I think it would have walked right over my shoe if I hadn't moved out of the way.
