“A single Eleodes hispilabris (apparently on its last⟳ leg) was seen near the north end⟳ of the mesa, which I photographed and collected, and on the way back I encountered a small patch of Sphaeralcea coccinea (scarlet globemallow) in bloom, from the flowers of which I collected a few small melyrid-type beetles and a small halictid bee for Mike.”
