We have collected all of the habitats from Sites 1 (Phoenix metro area), 2 (Cornville), and 3 (Payson/Flowing Springs).
Now we will "harvest" selected habitats for each of the Cornville and Payson sites. Previously we had done the same with the Phoenix habitats.
We selected habitats Site2a5, Site2a6, Site2b7, Site3a7 and Site3b1. These correspond to the two sites in Cornville and the two sites in Payson/Flowing Springs. Here are the site maps:
We carefully disassembled each habitat and saved any contents. There were few contents in any of the habitats.
We did get one surprise (about 13:40 on the video) when a spider jumped out of the habitat as Gene was harvesting it. This habitat is from Site3a7, the Payson master garden. But, we can't be sure that the spider jumped on there, or in the subsequent transportation and storage. We did save the spider for further examination if necessary.
Later, we will harvest all of the collected habitats and also retrieve and harvest those from Site4 in Flagstaff, AZ.
