In what year was the population of bugs higher than the other years?
You know what? I have no idea. I'm sure that the data must be out there somewhere but I only know about the time I was there. While I was there the bugs were incredibly persistent. I will never forget falling asleep to the sound of buzzing mosquitoes--there is nothing quite like it.
In general when it rains (which is not often at Toolik) and when the temperatures are warm is when there are more bugs.
Let me know if I can help you with anything else,
Tom
