Scientific paper

DESPITE the constancy of their environment, certain aquatic insects in Lake Victoria exhibit periodic emergence. In the mayfly, Povilla adusta, emergence is closely synchronized and occurs shortly after full moon1. On the other hand, most swarms of `lake-flies' (unidentified Chironomidae and Chaoborus) have been reported to occur shortly after new moon2.
