Pearce 1970 damp newspaper - surrounded by good Tillandsia mats. Found one of the big crickets under a Tillandsia mat on the area and one under a rock just off of the area. No Tillandsia grazed, numerous with parasite damage. Looked for live grubs but found more more sulfur lichen this year than last (plus dry) works under type of drooping tillandia leaves this year but not last). At noon drove to the lower east of Pafó Juan Tree. Lots of dry plants but no blooms, much drier (?) than last year and actually sunny for most of the hour that we spent there reporting and drying the herbs. Lots of big crickets walking around, some chirping. One came to Orange peel and fed. Four droppings picked up close to the study area at 8:02 pm contained 1 Phyllotus, 2 spiders, and numerous crickets; probably one scorpion.
