Notes
As I was walking down the trail I noticed movement on the berm and saw a broken skink tail wriggle down into the middle of the trail. Then I looked and saw that the skink had been grabbed by a tarantula at the mouth of its burrow. I was only able to get a poor photo before the tarantula retreated deeper.
