Crepuscular Species of the Sonoran Desert (Print)
Most rabbit species are crepuscular - meaning they are most active during dusk and dawn instead of diurnal or nocturnal. In this piece, a black-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus californicus) and a desert cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii) are illustrated with two of their common food sources; Engelmann’s prickly pear cactus (Opuntia engelmannii), and bottlebrush squirreltail grass (Elymus elymoides). Other crepuscular species shown are the cactus mouse (Peromyscus eremicus), the common poorwill (Phalaenoptilus nuttallii), the white lined sphinx moth (Hyles lineata) pollinating tufted evening primrose (Oenothera caespitosa), and the five spotted hawkmoth (Manduca quinquemaculata) pollinating sacred datura (Datura wrightii).
