27 July) traps - nothing, then came in.
In the evening Pete came up to our
hut for a caribou-steak dinner. Had a
very relaxing evening. topped it off by going
down to the lab to sort 500 samples!
28 July
Barrow, Alaska
Slept somewhat later than usual, then
in to the lab to sort all of the 500 samples
just removed from the funnels. Found something
in just about every sample.
Bobby came in for dinner. Didn't want to
go to a war movie of camp, so we drove
our to shooting station and spent the evening
visiting.
29 July
Barrow, Alaska
Weather is suddenly warm again.
Drove into Barrow to measure Algecks'
floor to see how much floor tile is required.
Wrote a letter to FAP, then counted the
last tanglefoots. After preparing them again
Pete and I went out to make the change.
Found that someone had moved emergence
trap II-3. The tipulids showed no noticeable response
to the warm weather, which introduces the interesting
question of how and when the "decision" to emerge
as adults after 2 seasons or wait another season is
made. How do they avoid responding to warm
weather after the normal period of emergence?
