at various places near the top of the Bapda and one
place a couple of km west. Lots of teca activity
and lots of tunnels. Baited the cube traps with
Cracker Paté or crackers and peanut butter. For
all, set 17 steel traps and 31 cube traps - to catch
Tetranychus. Set in early and mid-afternoon and
checked most of them at about 7:30 p.m. - 3
times. The tecas are cutting and eating twigs of
Steff's lumber such as Stillingia, Senna, [illegible],
[illegible]. Lots of Stillingia on the lower south side,
speciation at their roots, and with big orange brown
fuzzy caterpillars eating their 'foliage'. The tetranychids
are also found on other plants. Camped on Navarro.
nov.14 3 more tecas in steel traps but no signs of
any mice in the cube traps, all of which were
set in burrows. Many of them plugged with
dirt by tecas. One cube trap had a tool in it.
Day sunny + warm. In afternoon set traps on
the south side of the road near the stream in a
rocky place, only a few sticky holes, the rest scattered
brushes. Anita set 12 MS, 12 Shenom, and 1 steel;
I set 12 MS, 19 Shenom. Left rest of traps out.
Checked traps at 7 pm and bed 4 more Tetranychus
nov.15 Night calm, clear, clear. Front on windshead. The
steel traps in two burrows had 1 teca, plus 1 trap set in
the middle of a big Stillingia had an abundant tetranychus.
This was the only trap set above ground (except
the series in the rocks across to road x Mng left
