August 13.
muscid flies found at vegetation. In the
floral heads (non ligulate) of Senecio there
was a small vestigial winged scleronomous
in fair abundance 2 to 3 per head - these are
probably the pollinators for a few of same
sp also seen in the ligulate flowers and
close examination revealed traces of pollen
clingings to their bodies. On the top of the
bright green clumps of "long shafted" mosses
were found a number of Chrysomela subabundant
larvae apparently approaching pupation.
no adult Chrysomela encountered.
a green lepidopteran larva was observed
walking across the Betula vegetation.
Blowing smoke into the holes along old
beach line failed this time to produce
any evidence of Sciara. A few spiders
observed but not too many. Spiders
were flooring in groups up to as high as
29 - others feeding were foraging on
vegetation - observations include pecking
at seed heads of Ligula + Potentilla
(see stomach analysis). No Bombyx
was observed. A few ichneumonids were
observed raising through the vegetation
but a very marked drop had occurred
in their numbers.
