Granite Mountains Animal Photo Gallery
Additional invertebrate photos may be viewed at the CalPhotos web site.
The insect list below was largely compiled by members of the Friends of the Entomology Research Museum. Voucher specimens are stored at UC Riverside and overseen by museum curator Doug Yanegan. Collections marked with *** are from the GMDRC and immediate surroundings; the remaining are from Kelso or the Desert Studies Center at Zzyzyx. Collections were conducted in the Spring and Summer, of any year, from 1996 through 2003, all one or two-day trips, and nearly all hand-collected. Within the name, n. sp. refers to an undescribed new species and nr refers to nearest relative.
Rick Vetter, faculty member of the entomology department at UC Riverside, compiled the arachnid list below. Specimens were collected using pitfall traps at various times of the year in 1997 and 1998 in Granite Cove.
