Lab work - our afternoon duties

On days I was assigned to the wetland study, we collected samples in the morning, then had lunch, then in the afternoon we went to the lab to sort and census what we collected. This was a daily process and all the data was collected in a data chart to monitor the progress of each salina.

Sorting was tedious - and often it was difficult to identify species. Our scientist, who was more familiar with the insect life, was there to confirm the identity of all our victims.
