Pearson 1982 70 mar.11. Carson Bonte, lightly mostly clear, wind stopped about daybreak. Temp at 7a.m - 2°. morning clear, cold breeze. Trees around camp caught 2 Elipogentia. small live caught 1 very small also tautbo x Bird caught 1 also tautebo & #98 at G11, 17q. Daring until about 2pm. Temp. up to 58°. numerous lizards and big black beetles about, and hundreds of fuzzy caterpillars, medium size, rusty brown fur and black bodies, darker at head and rear ends. They crawl slowly across the ground and lots of them up in the Saffron bushes. Most of the Saffron bushes here (Carson Bonte) are half dead, but the caterpillars are mostly on the live twigs. Saw only one in a newer bush ad more in Severino. Can't tell whether they are eating the Saffron twigs x They curl up when disturbed. Some of the Saffron limbs are blooming, others not at all. Correction: the fuzzy caterpillars do eat the green bark on the twigs of Saffron. Hundreds around our campsite at Carson Bonte but we saw only one while checking the girl at Campo Anchores at 3:30 pm, and more of them was a couple, not at another place a few farther east which had the lushest Saffron ever, many bushes loaded with them. There were no at all. The blooming leafy plants especially ooze a & white sap when the twig is broken. Omelo grid saw a few lizards, a dove,
