Maclean 1968 Journal 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?
