Aaron,
You might also try setting up a light and sheet at night by the water body.
I have accidently attracted dragonflies at night with lights in the past. I
hope this helps.
Thanks,

Aaron,
Having shipped many inverts over the years I would think that maybe you
could put them in paper bags. One to a bag and then staple or paper clip
them shut. You might consider putting pin holes in the bags for air flow. I

Many scientists do have agendas. I have seen it many times in the field of
herpetology. This is not only evident in gray literature but in peer-reviewed
literature as well. And of course books. Many academics throw out statements in
the discussion sections of papers or preview sections of books
Malcolm,
I would also say that a group of like minded scientists could knowingly or
unknowingly push an agenda. Mis-use or abuse of the pre-cautionary principle is
common through much of wildlife and environmental science. A group of
scientists who believe that turtle collection or commercial

Facts and data should rule not abuse of the precautionary principle. Far to

Hey Wendee,
It looks like a box turtle for sure. It is more colorful then most desert box
turtles I have seen before. The blueish head is a character of the desert but
also the gulf coast box turtle and eastern box turtles are very colorful. Based

How do you define protected? Hunting and fishing occur on many public lands.
Forests are harvested and lands are leased for oil, gas and mineral
extraction. Do you mean lands that are theoretically protected from

I don't believe there are to many studies on this but all animals have a

more offspring then they need to replace those lost to predation and other
factors. Turtles are so long lived that funding a study would

All,
First of all, wildlife and nature are beyond a man made economic system.
The sooner we teach society and politicians that the better. I say
everything should have equal value and that value is priceless. That does
not mean that we can not use it but we must use it wisely -
