Mystery Bug Hey bug scholars – What the heck is this critter? I think it may be a tailless vinagaroon. It is about 2-3″ long and pretty intimidating – but not aggressive. But I wouldn’t want it crawling on me. I tell you Eagle Creek AZ is home to lots of odd critters. […] We had a great few days with some members of the Maricopa Audubon Society. They did a bird survey on Eagle Creek and the Double Circle Ranch. […] Hummingbirds Feast at Feeder in Snowstorm It is April 14th – Spring by the calendar.
