The bug activity has exceeded our expectations , when we first started our bug activity was very slow and we would only advance by a mere 10 bugs and now we have almost reached 100.
Notes (Trap disturbances)
What a great way to end off our second week , we have advanced in our bug activity and almost reached 100 bugs , good job !
Today we discovered 62! bugs in our malaise trap in the court yard.
Notes( Trap Disturbances)
Due to the warmer weather mid day we discovered a lot more insects in our Malaise trap. We are starting to notice a pattern in our data with regards to the warmer weather and bug activity. When the weather is warmer we collect more bugs and when it is colder outside it seems as if the bugs don’t come outside as much so there is no bug activity or very little if there is any.
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(:
