Cruickshank Blair 1974 Journal April 11 10 mi. N. Wolf Hole, Mohave Co., Arizona. 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.
