August 12, 2026

I am a Beyer’s Jewel Scarab
I'm pale green and my legs are lavender-blue
I have the smallest range of Arizona Jewel Beetles
But I can be found in New Mexico and Mexico too.

Thanks to today's special guest photographer and my sweetheart, David Simpson.

Location: Miller Canyon Hereford, AZ
