HABITAT 



This form we found only from ten miles south of Moniac on the St. Mary's 

 River to Folkston really Camp Pinckney on the St. Mary's River but not 

 within the swamp. 



Holbrook (1842, Vol. 4, p. 117) writes "This animal is commonly found on 

 trees and about old stone fences, overgrown with mosses and lichens, the color 

 of which it so closely resembles that it frequently escapes observation even 

 when sought for. It very commonly chooses old and decaying plum trees for 

 its abode, probably because insects on which it feeds are most abundant in 

 such situations." 



FIRST APPEARANCE. 



In Ithaca our first appearance records for this species come in mid April 

 or earlier. Surely in Southern Georgia they must be abroad even earlier in 

 the spring. In 192 1 we spent April and May within the swamp where the 

 species is not but in 1922 we encamped in June and on June 19 we heard them 

 in Camp Pinckney. 



In Houston, Texas, Pope (1924, p. 95) made "the following notes on it: 

 Feb. 13, 19 18, Have heard several in the past few days calling from trees in 

 camp, but have not seen any yet. April 15 collected one specimen, a male 

 that was calling from the branch of a pine tree. April 24 found one calling 

 in rain pool where H. squirella was breeding. I heard them frequently on 

 warm evenings, answering each other from trees in the woods near camp. 

 After the first of May they became silent and I heard and saw no more of them 

 for the season. If they laid eggs in any of the pools near camp they made no 

 such noise about it as they do in the North." We heard and collected them 

 in Beeville, Texas, March 24, 1925.
