Monitoringo Monitor yearly if possible
o Monitor when bioagent is out as adult (or can find in stem/root)
o Find site and sweep net through the area
o Take follow up photos if change in weed density
o Be prepared for bursts of usable insects!

Larinus minutus Found well established 2001 – knapweed seed heads
Not sure how it got there…
Collected 7,640 in summer ’02

Mapping Number & label sites
GPS coordinate units: long-lat. or UTM’s
Crew can practice doing geocaching
Mapping program: ArcMap, All Topo, etc.
Mesh with county, local agencies and State
One of these may do mapping for you! (student class?)
One person in charge
Keep T/E data in several spots
Make usable to YOU, then others!!
Landowner data is PRIVATE! [bug rustlers…]

GPS Map & Monitor all Release Sites
Keep T-data and E-data, in 3 places!
Use All Topo Maps and ArcView
Helps plan and prioritize releases
Helps us find useful bursts of insects for collection and net days
Students can use in classes
looks cool!
