A 1/4 meter plot of grass topped polygon behind A.R.L yielded at surface area 3 Ad Carabid + 2 Carabid larvae. June 28 In tundra pools on grid plot behind A.R.L. the large red Chironomid larvae are in evidence especially near margins of pools under about 1" to 1½" of water.

A couple of adult Chironomids were noted on compost 1 one of the pools.
