I've been here at Holloman since '95 (military dependent). In the 7 years I've been here, I've only found 1 viridis. Found it out on La Luz Gate Road. I found 3 viridis on Hwy 380 between Carrizozo and San Antonio (8 miles sough of Socorro) last year. I'd have to check my road cruising records to see the how many atrox I've found. My best friend and I have found 3 C. l. klauberi up at Aguirrie Springs, just west of White Sands Missile Range and just east of the US 70 Augustin Pass.
