At ~3500 per pound
 
Sorry, but I don't agree.  We find about 4540 per pound,  most researchers 
estimate 5000.  Extreme values in literature run from  5,600 to 3,000.
 
Mitchell in 1970 found 4,451 newly emerged workers per pound, 5,159  
workers mature workers per pound.
 
Interestingly, she got 3,492 HEAVILY Smoked workers per  pound. 
 
Mitchell was working at Davis, CA.
