Still not enough snow for snow flies out there, so started a little side project in the meantime to make everything as fun as collecting snow flies through employee gamification. snowfly.com

Here is a helpful cheat sheet of the daily activity patterns of foraging invertebrates on Mt. Rainier. Based on summer time observations, which is why there are no snow flies. Mann, Edwards, and Tara (1980). DOI: 10.1080/00040851.1980.12004194

Attention all western USA mountain-goers (esp those in MT, WY, UT, WA, ID): please help us find snow algae patches for sampling for our new @nsf -funded project! Here's a handy form to use to report your sighting. Please RT and spread the word. forms.gle/VRsqadXp7VCpmh…

Snow fly season is over, so now it's control experiment season! We are now looking for local volunteers @UW to help us collect other crane flies: these are the big endearing goofballs that resemble an oversized mosquito. Drop us a note if you happen to trap one.

@SnowFlyProject We found Chionea in our buried pitfall traps in SW Virginia this winter. Really fascinating insects! @N06/51819145047/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flickr.com/photos/1372932…

Got just what I wanted for my birthday - bluebird conditions and a 4-legged snow fly.

we thought that snow flies had retired for the season, but looks like there are still some late season stragglers relishing the winter conditions! vid courtesy of @KameronDHarris.

Volunteers deliver snow flies to us in all sorts of containers, but this is a first.

We received our first shipment of snow flies from the Yukon this week! We are running behavioral experiments right now to measure their cold tolerance. After that, we will use DNA barcoding to determine the species of each individual animal. inaturalist.org/observations/1…
