Sampling comments: "Emerging individuals were sampled using screen wire cages, 12 of which were constructed by attaching 26-mesh plastic screening to a wooden frame enclosing a basal area of 1 ft2 with a height of 1.5 ft. These cages were distributed over representative habitats of the open water of the pond... Eight cages of similar construction except that they enclosed a basal area of 2 ft2 were placed at random around the edge of the pond"
