Aquatic insects and other invertebrates are an integral part of any aquatic system, and they can also be used as an indicator of water quality. We’ll talk about some of the macro invertebrates that can be found in our lakes and streams, and learn how to use the Aqua Bugs phone app to identify them. Watch recorded event here: Citizen Science: Aqua Bugs, Invertebrates & Water Quality May 15, 2020
