Maclean 1969 Journal 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.
