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.
