[[underline]] Recursaria[[?]] milleri [[underline\]]
Larvae about half grown. feeding rapidly in 1917 needles. Snow still on patches along trail but rapidly disapearing. Patterson {{?}} says season is late + if Recurraria[[?][] issues this year will be about Aug 1st[[?]] Can see no reason as yet why it should take more than a year for a generation. [[end page]]

P. will watch growth of larvae + report on condition during July. Larvae in alcohol.
Mosquitoes terrible at + near the lake. Several males taken from a swarm over some small pine at edge of lake. Breed in melting snow & water at edge of lake.

Larvae young in the nodules opened. Patterson will follow up + send material for rearing later in season.
