Black harvester ants (Veromessor pergandei) not so kindly escorting a darkling beetle (probably genus Argoporis) away from their nest. Since this kind of beetle tends to be a detrivore or scavenger, perhaps it was trying to steal food from the ants. As far as I could tell, no one was injured in this incident. The beetle seemed to have learned its lesson and did not try to return to the nest.

Doing a road trip from Vegas to all the Utah national parks and multiple state parks and national monuments next month. Anyone got any tips or any places I should check out? I probably have most of the open spaces saved but lesser known places are good to know and even more so I'll take some food recommendations or just general tips :)

We are renting a jeep so dirt roads are fine ❤️

Just a photo of my cat watching travel videos with me in preparation, for visibility's sake.

Photos I took of Arizona last year! I may not live there, but I find deserts beautiful!

The bird in the fifth one is a California condor, there are only two hundred of them in the wild!

bonus Utah as well.

“oh, I live in a desert and-”

“wow that must be so terrible” “deserts are so ugly” “I would never want to live in a wasteland like that” “it’s just empty nothingness”

wishing 10,000 exploding hammers upon you

behold New Mexico
