Atom bomb testing grounds, Nevada, U.S.
By coincidence, on the very day — September 17,
1997 — I
arrived in Indian Springs, Nevada, near the door to the
atom bomb testing area, an underground bomb test was conducted.
I wanted to collect Heteroptera leaf bugs there. This study
was interesting because most of the surrounding land is
desert, and there is no heavy industry. The biotopes were
beautiful and the variety of insects rich. The most morphologically
disturbed leaf bugs — and also the greatest number
of them — I found about 300 miles to the northeast,
in the mountains (for which I could not find a name) near
the test site at Cedar Breaks, Parowan. Some deformed leaf
bugs were also found near Zion National Park in Utah
