This subject came to a mercury vapor lamp set-up at 35°31'21.2"N 105°11'15.1W", 6415 ft elevation, Las Vegas 7.5' quadrangle in the Gallinas Nature Trail parking lot in the Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge (set-up as fielded there). Many other images from this event are posted. I collected representative specimens of most, and can follow up with high resolution images of selected ones if needed.
