FIGURE 3. Distribution and occurrence map of Monotoma species in Georgia. A) Map of Georgia. Purple shaded area = distribution of Monotoma producta. Other species that did not have many points are either widespread in the state (e.g. M. longicollis) or have too few points to make an accurate distribution map. B) Zoom-in on Athens-Clarke County. C) Zoom-in on University of Georgia and surrounding residential areas. Expanded spiral of points indicates records from a single GPS locality, showing the effects of prolonged sampling in a single location.
