P. PEARSON 1948 the overhanging banks. These joined after going in and up for about a foot, then this tunnel went up about 6" more and downstream about 6" whereupon it opened into a chamber the size of a large coffee cup. This chamber was almost filled with a nest of green plusquam thin pieces of bark. A tunnel led beyond the nest & downstream downward. no young or fresh scale in the nest, so it is not impossible that it belonged to Zapena or Micotina. Captures eat earthworms, grasshoppers, raw liver, mouse carcasses (except forest skins), dead fish, caddis pupae, aquatic larvae of insects (many live in this stream), large flies (catch them on the wing), some bugs, but in one trial they refused flatworms which abound in this stream.
