I am sorry to not have better pictures. I was not prepared for this little guy. For one I only had my portrait lense and secondly My Canon Rebel is seeming to have dificulties with the automatic focus.

I am not sure what this little guy is. He was hanging out in my father's back yard (very sandy, lots of pine needles). It's rear seemed to swing down like an upside down scorpian tale at times. Notice also the orangish red part on the abdomin. I was wandering if these are common in my area, that I might have an oppurtunity to get some better pictures.
