Beaver 1967 Aloofe Journal 4/7 15 July (cont.) about 58°F - very clear sky, light wind. The Typhids seem to be responding to these conditions since the tundra is crawling with them. Steve and I set up the vac. collector and swatted up large numbers of them. Steve had collected them while I ran the vacuum. The cage ran out of gas so I went to hard collecting also. We left for the line #1 of Skilly bands and emargae traps at 1630. (See Diptera Study for data) We completed changing the skilly bonds and checking the emargae traps and can traps. The cerial net lost insects, but we didn't change yet. We came into the lab at 1730. I went back out to get Tom and then we went to supper. 1930 Steve, his wife and I went out to central marsh to run a Typhulid transect. The sky now is slightly overcast and the temperature is definitely dropping. Typhulid activity was low. On the way, we saw a cerial sandpaper (see go account). In central marsh, Steve collected 5 central-sandpaper and 2 food feeding observatios - oo below. 15 Jul./ cat. Marsh /a/011/1400/f/w/2½A/3½/O/pk-2Hda +4 young. 15 Jul./ micro met./a/012/1700/+/o/3¼A/1/pk - took 3 Typhula while watching.
