I have added javelinas. Gambel's quails, swallowtail butterflies, and diamondback rattlesnakes to the mandala. The swallowtail butterfly is the official state insect, and I think it may be the most beautiful of all the butterflies. The ridgeback rattlesnake is actually the official state reptile, but I couldn't leave out the diamondback. It is better known, and has lots of associations with Arizona. Tucson has its beautiful diamondback bridge; and of course, Phoenix has the baseball team with the same name. This ring also features the saguaro cactus which is an iconic symbol of Arizona.
