9 July
and I S $10, and checked the other
site It's. Judging by the tanglefoots and by
what we found in the traps, we may have
captured this just in time.
10 July
Barrow, Alaska
Cold again. First I finished
counting the tanglefoots, wrote the shorebird
and insect section of the June progress
report and photographed a Bill Barry cartoon.
Right after lunch Dave, Tom Schwan,
and I went out to finish the clipping and
change tanglefoots. At emergence trap
(enclosure #4) in Central Marsh we found
all 4 of the wing-clipped P. pedicia - 3
alive and 1 dead. So they can live at
least 2 days. Returned these to the
enclosure.
In the evening I got started on
tanglefoot counting, then went in to Barrow.
Barrow, Alaska
More cold weather - a cold July,
thus far. Counted more tanglefoots and
wrote letters, then went out with Tom
and Dave for 500 samples and emergence
traps. It just about takes the
afternoon to check the 25 traps. The
clipping helps - I'm sure we overlooked
quite a few P. pedicia in unclipped traps.
