I believe this is a darkling beetle – they are sometimes referred to as stink bugs because they aim their rear towards you and release a nasty smell to scare away predators. This one is larger in size around 2 inches!

My kids are part mountain goat, but this picture makes it look a lot more dangerous than it was in reality. We don’t let them do anything too crazy!

My kids dipped their feet in this stale desert water. It was nice and refreshing at the end of a long hot day.
