Notes

This female was found less than 30 minutes after and less than 100 feet from the orange male with reduced black in the other voucher from this day. These were welcome finds as I found them after 14 hours (male) and 14.5 hours (female) of flipping over 2 days. The weather cooled off a bit, the wind died down, and the sky clouded up and it felt like it was going to rain. Also important to note - food sources seemed more abundant on this hillside than in surrounding areas we searched. We found 3 skinks and 3 W. fence lizards (Sceloporous occidentalis - which we had not seen anywhere in this region until that day). Normally we see sagebrush lizards (Sceloporous graciosus) most frequently but not on this hillside on that day, although I am sure they are there. Also seen here in the immediate vicinity was a gopher snake, a tarantula, and many rodent burrows.
