Happy Halloween

Hopefully the sky where you live will be clear.

DON'T MISS THIS CHANCE! ☄☄

Recently discovered Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) will pass about 55 million miles away in the next week. (Edited from earlier verisons) You have the chance to see the brightest comet in the night sky this year. Wait about 90 minutes after sunset and look under the handle of the big dipper.

With a new moon the darkest night sky will be Tuesday October 21st. This also lines up PERFECT for the comet to pass closest to earth. It MIGHT be possible to see the naked eye but a strong pair of binoculars or telescope will help big time. This comet was just discovered THIS January and now we get to watch it pass. Incredible!

Mid 2026 large vehicles will no longer be permitted to travel thru the famous & historic tunnel in Zion NP, that connects the East entrance/exit from the main park and the main entrance/exit in Springdale.
The bypass/alternate route is nearly a 2 hr detour, so plan ahead.

It doesn't look like this anymore. It's more like Sedona Az these days, and isn't slowing down :(

Have you ever watched the movie, "Alien" and wondered how did those filmmakers come up with the horrifying idea of creature who lays their egg in a living host? Well, my friends, welcome to the startling world of the parasitic wasp, which includes our desert Tarantula Hawk!

With bright orange wings and a blue-black iridescent body, this wasp is an eye-catching beauty with a powerful sting. The female Tarantula Hawk can paralyze a wandering tarantula in minutes, dragging it away to lay a single egg on the spider. As the larva grows, it will begin to eat the tarantula, avoiding vital organs so the spider can provide a living meal until the wasp pupates!

Although a little terrifying (okay, a lot terrifying), Tarantula Hawks play a vital part in our desert ecosystem and are an important pollinator. So, take a second to admire these fearsome beauties!

“But I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more . . .”

Between late summer and fall, male tarantulas can be found wondering the roads and trails in and around Zion National Park looking for love! This is a difficult and dangerous journey, avoiding cars, feet, and predators, as they follow their sense of smell to find the female tarantulas hiding in their burrows.

If he makes it, the danger is far from over though. In order to mate, the male tarantula must literally hook the larger female by her fangs and then quickly run away to avoid becoming her next meal.

So if you see these wandering Casanovas, make sure to give them some space and let them pass as they make this dangerous annual journey!
