Eucercops chinalibanda
11 Dec.
a large and a smallish one caught yesterday
on microwave Hill were caged separately and
fed apple, rolled oats, and Ephedra. They sat
still all day but became active after 10 p.m.,
The big one was in a wire-floored cage with filter
paper underneath to collect urine samples; the
papers were thoroughly saturated (t o atuned)
in the morning. She urinated on another paper
when I picked up. She had eaten all her oats
and had cut off some Ephedra stems.
The smaller Eucercops cut some Ephedra
stems, did not touch her apple, and did not
eat any of the four fresh sheep droppings
left in the cage;
The large Eunna (8125) produced considerable
clear, runny urine during the day. am letting it
evaporate in a Petri dish.
