Week 5 Notes! (Nicole Shevera)
This week has been fun as well! I've been doing more shadowing on selecting locations and collecting egg rafts! I hope to start doing it on my own once I receive the Collection Kit and the Bottle assays next week. In addition, a new seasonal worker is coming on Wednesday. Someone who can help me set up IR traps next week! We had more larval samples that I was able to do identification for in practice for the mosquitoes I will be rearing after we set up and collect the traps. As a fun side note, I learned about the possibility of box tree moths in NJ and might get the chance to aid in placing traps while keeping an eye out for them in the light traps!
