GRYLLOBLATTA CAMPODEIFORMIS WALKER—A NEW RECORD
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
A new record for the distribution and environment of Grylloblatta campodeiformis Walker has been established by the recent discovery of this insect in the dry belt of British Columbia at an altitude of 1500 feet. The occurrence of the “ice bug” at this locality is of singular interest. Supposedly an inhabitant of only the coldest regions, such as are found along the margins of glaciers and mountain streams at high altitudes, this discovery shows that Grylloblatta can exist under extremely dry and hot conditions at a relatively low altitude.
