After spending over $300 Monday to repair the electrical wires chewed up in my new Jetta we were not happy to find five plus gallons of mesquite beans and chewed wiring in the Rhino last night. Bob cleared out a pile of wood fast becoming a packrat midden near the garage and was lucky to find the inhabitant at home. We'll have no more problems from this destructive little critter.

Two evenings ago the White-lined Sphinx Moth caterpillars emerged from their holes in the dirt. A small army of them made their way down the wash, one after another, looking for greens to feed on. I've not seen anything like it in the years we've been here.
