Looks like a Coopers going off of the tail pattern, that is our now 8' tall Moringa tree it's next to.

Agreed, it's a Cooper's. Your moringa is doing well!

Thanks everyone for the advice and feedback!

Great job! That really solves the problem of the limitations of timers and ensures that it will be on when it's hottest and needed. Well done.

ETA: I think you should submit your page here for the contest.

That is old for a chihuahua right? Condolences from us.

...

Thank you for the info on that healthy nontoxic wood stain.

...Bad news my turkey just died last night and thinking he fell off his crate and broke his neck As he was covered with ants this afternoon when I came out to find my tom turkey.



Sorry for the loss of your turkey. Dig a hole in your yard and bury him or take him to a landfill. What kind of turkey and how old? Are you the one who just called me about a turkey?

Condolences from us
Those ants move in fast...

No,

I'm a close friend of the family and it's been 7 years since he was murdered. He was just found guilty this past week and Channel 12 screwed it all up. They showed a pic of Tony's mother crying and said she was the Killers mother. Then they tried to fix it and apologize and they screwed it up again and said the officers name as the killers. Ugh. Just shows how little of what they say is true.

Yeah, it is weird how that can happen. We like Chanel 10.. We have tried to watch other news Chanel's for local news..
Like the blaze Chanel 212 they cover lots of worldly & other topics that get slipped under the rug..

That's what I thought too - I don't believe AZ has brown recluse unless they get brought in in produce or hay or something - then they don't last long. At least that is what I've come to understand from the extension service here in the Casa Grande area.

To me it looks like an Arizona Brown Spider or Brown Recluse.

That's why I asked about the eye arrangement, it's the easiest way to determine if it's Loxosceles or to rule it out. Lots of spiders have that general body form so it might not be. If it is Loxosceles it'd most likely be L. deserta given his location, but it's possible it could be L. arizonica. We don't have populations of L. reclusa here.
