GuardSman Pass, Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake County, Utah , August
of 2008.

The eggs produced by this female in 2008 overwintered in a
refrigerator where they were
brought down to freezing temperatures and kept in containers that were
punctured all over and kept with another container full of water for
hydration. Finally, after three tries, I was able to get the eggs
to hatch 23 and 24 April 2009.
