Non-avian photos from last July/August in Arizona, starting off outside Tucson with this rather unintended shot of what’s probably an Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) and its prey/victim/lunch, a species of Cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus genus):
These shots all in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Pinetop/Lakeside, AZ, starting with juvenile and adult Abert’s Squirrel (Sciurus aberti) a.k.a. Tassel-eared Squirrel:
Finally, many happy returns to this expecting female Chipmunk, possibly Colorado Chipmunk (Neotamias quadrivittatus):
