Summary: There was an ant explosion.

Arrived at 11:36. The weather was sunny and hot. The wash reservoir was mostly full and was refilled. The camera angle was adjusted. The Eosense CO2 sensor sn GP20140017 was maxed-out out of water. The T was in the middle of the range at 3000mV. It was not responding to being in or out of the water so it was disconnected.

LI7500 readings:
CO2 406.5
H2O 863.1
T 31.2
P 100.8
SS 96.9 -> 98.3

LI7700 readings:
CH4 2.1
RSSI 60.3 -> 73.5

There were a lot of ants in the 7550 box. Try bringing a new ant trap to the site next time. To get rid of the ants, Sam tried spraying them with compressed air which resulted in a monumental explosion of living ants and dead ant carcasses. It is probably a temporary solution, as a queen seems to be lodged in the back of the box, so the back of the box should probably be removed to better clean them out.

Left at 12:10.
