While my last post made reference to my dislike of spiders, I have to say that my most recent observations and data collection at my site were taken over by wasps. That being said I was able to get 16 samples in total between 4 shrubs and while I did not have much difficulty in implementing my design, I did realize that in some of the shrubs some parts just met the minimum for the sampling height. While the shrubs overall are of adequate size for my study (which is 4 feet) most were well over 4 feet, some parts were barely tall enough. While this would not have any significant impact on my field study, I realized that depending on the nature and source of study this should be a consideration in the future development of my field studies.
