Canti, Blain 1976 Journal April 30 Lone Pine, Inyo Co., California Today I will try trapping along the "lower Serrano Bench" at the E. base of the Alabama Hills. Drive along the Los Angeles Aqueduct about 3/4 mile - (see map) Then set a line of 40 traps N and S. of the ca - total line ca 900 yds. ran parallel line of many traps, about 20 yds from line traps. These with 48 traps each. A final line of 20 line traps ran down (E.) to the aqueduct fence. The night was much warmer - about 50° or more, the high during the day having been 90°F. Caught 11 D. micros, ? O. meriani and 1 Ammoperomolybius. In the trap traps I had better luck than before, but still only 1 D. micros. I caught 3 Grompes and 1 Meotana around a trash pile of an old "home" site. Makes me suspect that the cover afforded by the cast off paws, etc., is what allows higher cricket populations here. Broke camp about 9:15 a.m.
