More Critters at the Park

Sunset Hiker, Angela Chavez, took the above pictures during our hike to Loop 3 and the Lower Sunset Trail at the Tom Mays Unit of the Franklin Mountains State Park yesterday. She writes:

I think that the lizard is a female Chihuahuan greater earless lizard (Cophosaurus texanus scitulus, according to the Peterson Western Reptiles guide). On the drive back out of the park, I spotted a large tarantula in the road, and shooed it back across the road so it wouldn't get run over."
