Hayward (via Mission & Foothill Blvd) Alameda Co. Cal.
Feb.28 (cont'd)
Worked a couple of 3 weeks ago by Toddy Appen fuss + friends so most of movable objects had already been moved (+ not replaced). Looked under rocks in Eucalyptus woods but saw only a couple of Ophionococcus. Many Black widow spiders under rocks, also a few earthworms & a couple of centipedes. Count taken mostly in areas of no tree cover, tho a stand of grass a foot high seemed to stand around almost each object under which I found them. The adults were not entirely under the rocks but were curled up in dirt + grass roots along edges of rock - in other words, they did not seem to have burrows under rock but rather to have crawled in as close against the rock as they could. One of counts regurgitated an inch-long slug in the 4 few hours after counting.
