The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum: Some parts of it really bug me.

A pair of Tarantula Wasps work no this flower. This image was taken at 210mm focal length with an exposure of 1/320 seconds at f/5, ISO 800.

Another view of a Tarantula Wasp taken with an exposure of 1/250 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 800 with my telephoto at 300mm focal length.

Another view of a Tarantula Wasp. There is a bee working near its tail and a small insect sitting on its wing that are just visible.  This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/200 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 800.

This spider had quite a large web and it sat partway down a funnel shaped section of it.  This exposure was taken with my 75-300 zoom at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/60 sec at f/5.6, ISO 800.
The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum has all variety of plants and critters that inhabit our deserts and insects are amongst the most numerous residents of our desert.  These insects were found around the corner from one another in an area rich in flowers which attract many insects, including butterflies which I couldn't quite get a focused picture of as he sat on a nearby flower.
