All day field trip to ridge W. of Pago Pago Harbor. Along road to Pago Pago village. Up Fagasa trail to summit and along ridge to the north as far as site of old observation station, where descended by a good zig-zag trail. Ridge averages 700-800 feet elevation and is covered by a good rain-forest.
Disceted several banana blossoms in hopes of discovering insect which causes spread of fungi, which causes destruction of so many fruits. Intra-blossom fauna as follows:- (in order of appearance as one penetrates the blossom):-
earwigs - (dark fuscous kind with the yellow section on the antennae), large red ants, small ovate black beetle; flat, whitish larvae (possibly of the beetle), small thrip-like beetles, and small fuscous thrips (?)
Landshells (called sisi) are quite abundant even in the lowlands where they first occur on banana leaves. As one ascends there appears to be several spp. large and small, conic and flat.
