Cotellus mollis
½ Mi. S Calneva, Lassen Co., Calif.
May 24,
Single imm ♀ collected by me. This was merely a representative of many others in this locality. When we would get out of the car they would whistle at us more or less like a bird.
May 27, Warm Spring, 4000 ft., 9 mi. E Hmedee, Lassen Co., Calif.
Single ♀ caught in early morning in mouse trap. There are thousands of this species - young and old in this area. This is undoubtedly the reason for the vast numbers of hawks. The other day I noted one in a bush. It appeared to be eating berries (seeds) or leaves — I could not distinguish which.
