Calioris melanotos
9 June
they're here - both males and
females! Unlike the other Calioris
Spp., no display - but they're here.
Saw several groups of up to 6, and
Duo collected 2 87 : 84 1024 $1025.
Not too heavy: 52 and 86g..
10 June
Saw several small (4-6)
Flocks on Britton's Area and southwards
along Gaswell Road. Norton took a 9
from B's area. I took 2 87 and 1 87
farther south. 87 seem to be showing
the first signs of bullyness towards
99, but no shooting or real ground
display yet, and flocks are tight.
All 3 of the 99 were light: <60g..
The 87 - 92.6g. - certainly not heavy.
11 June
In the morning saw several small
flocks in and around West Tumava between
FAD and Trapline III-A. No display. Went
back in the afternoon to collect, but
found only 1 good 87 (LSN 1036: 9207g) and
I presumed first-year 87 (1037: 7101g).
12 June
Several observers saw and heard
display today, for the first time.
On the newly exposed area SO. and
east of Voth Crossing - Saw at least 2
displaying 87 and a 9. One 87 appeared to
have staked a territorial claim and was
