which characteristically trapped micros,
complexes and Kezed it out to La Lycaen
or Andersonii spp. (prob. Fovegi). I brought a sample
along. After packing the new captures in
cages, we packed up and left about
12:00 p.m. Total catch as follows:
30 D. morosa, 6 D. menziesi,
5 P. monilatus, 1 Perog. longimentis,
1 Perog. sp. (spanus?), 1 catellics
leucus, and 1 Onychopus torides = 45
animals. We left St. George about
12:45 for our next locality - 370 mi.
north.
2 mi. W. Railroad Pass, Kane Co., Nevada
We arrived at the trapping site at 6:15 PM,
just in time to set traps. The wind was
cold and strong, but subsided by nightfall.
Active lumines were scarcer than last year,
and the Atriplex was already dry.
It was very cold. We returned at
8.00 after dark (4:30 PM) then
went to bed, being afraid all the animals
would freeze to death. Morning was
quite cold - 25°F, 78% rel. humidity.
To our surprise, not one animal died of
the cold - even though many of them
must have been in the traps all night.
