This photo demonstrates the typical set up of the so-called 'bat-and-bug' citizen science data collection platform used on the SCREE - Powell 150 expedition. The UV light attracts bugs to the pool of ethanol, where they land and are preserved for identification, while the touchpad device has an untrasonic microphone to collect bat calls.

Desert paintbrush stands out against the yellows and browns of the desert by way of its bright red and fiery coloring. Desert paintbrush is a hemiparasite, and takes some of its water and nutrients from the roots of nearby plants. However, unlike full parasites, desert paintbrush can still photosynthesize to obtain some of its nutrients if needed.
