(8 July) a test which revealed the problem with
last year's emergence trap data. Dave put
some crane flies in a trap; after a while,
I looked for them. He put in 4♂ and 1♀
Pedicia. I found 1♂ Pedicia! Decided
that we will have to clip the vegetation
from the traps to remove hiding places.
In briefly, then out to traplines III A-B
to take a set of SOD samples. It was
there, as everywhere very, very dry.
Returned these to the lab, then out to
lines IX & X to begin clipping the emergence
traps there. In the process, Dave found
Pedicia that he otherwise would have
missed!
A very elegant cocktail (beer) session
with refreshments by Pitzelka with
George West and the Norton crew.
After dinner put the new SOD samples in
the extractors, wrote notes, and into town.
