Crane Flies
I've seen a ton of these on my patio this spring and just saw an article from Tucson about them too. Apparently it's a boom year due to the rains we've had.
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

Re: Crane Flies
@joebartels I think they come out every time the drought ends.
