Beaver 1967 Diptera Study 4/ 1 July (Ext) Trap #3 was placed on top of Beach Ridge at this locality [crossed out] in a trough. The soil was saturated, 75% grass, heavy moss understory. T. Auster and I checked both sets of traps and found not Tipulidae. Line #1 Trap # - 1 Diptera Outside Temperature - 40° max, 35° min. Inside Temperature - 40° max, 35° min. Trap #2 sev. diptera - very hard to collect sample because of grass. I'll need the vacuum sampler. Trap #1 - 3 or 4 chironomids. Line #2 Trap #1 - 2 & 3 checked but couldn't get accurate count or collect the individuals. 2 July I checked all the sample collected 1 July and then turned off the Barber's light. Some of the quite a few Lonomia came out. I plan to work these samples tomorrow.
