Date?
Do you mean September 18?
As for the adults, I understand why you don't include the dates on the data fields, but it would be nice if they were mentioned in the text.
Nice life cycle!

September is right
I corrected this one and put in the date I found the dead adult, which was sometime after it emerged.

Hibernator
I never have luck with those that hibernate. I don't find them, dead or alive.
