Today was windy, cold and cloudy. The trap had to be tied down better. But, what affect does this have on our catch? It is so cool to be part of a big project like this. -Nathan, Logan, Andrew and Cohen
We wonder whether weather affects bugs?

Love the title of this post! The first pic is interesting.
Hey Hamilton Students! What you think are male mosquitoes are actually a different kind of fly. They are called crane flies (order Diptera, family Tipulidae). Male mosquitoes are the same size as female mosquitoes, what’s different about them is that they don’t bite you, only the females do! They are from order Diptera, family Culicidae.

One of our mentors does microscope photography as a hobby. He has taken some photos of crane flies up close, way close. Here’s a link, just search the page for the word “crane” and you can find them.
