Another cold and wet day , but our » bug catching » was not interrupted. We ended the week one on a positive note and collected more bugs than we had done all week. Good job Team (: !!
Today was a very cold day , although some would think a cold day calls for very little bug activity that theory was proven wrong today with all the bugs that we found(:
Over the weekend there was wind and a little bit of snow. This could have been the reason why our trap fell over. All of the pegs were ripped out of the ground and the whole trap fell down. We were lucky that we took the collection vessel out over the weekend!
Today we went out to check the trap and noticed that there were a ton of bugs! When we were outside it seemed chilly and remembered that we are supposed to get snow tonight, so we are a little worried. Overall we’re all enjoying this project very much!
Once again we set out to check how many insects we caught. Today we are up to 30 insects, mostly flies and a few moths!! The weather has only been a high of 4 Degrees Celcius with a 40 percent chance of a mix of snow and rain. We are hoping to get better weather next week to continue to catch more insects with success!
We have had our share of bad weather; however, we have managed to catch a few insects! YAY! We have even managed to trap a few spiders. Guess they were curious! Our class is very excited about the program extension. Can’t wait to see what we will catch next week!
