Intro to Benthic Macroinvertebrates

Benthic Macroinvertebrates are amazing stream critters that play a big role in the aquatic food chain, supplying trout and other fish with most of their diets. Macros are also bio indicators of water quality of streams, making them a very important tool for stream monitoring efforts. This video is an introduction to some of these cool insects!

Love this! We are in Berk's County and I have loved, over the last number of years, introducing students to Benthic Macro-invertebrates! Today I take out five children under the age of six. Last week in French Creek State Park we stumbled on a Park Ranger looking for Macro-invertebrates! Can you imagine my excitement! So these children were introduced last week to the concept or to the word - now begins the unpacking. I am making sure that their parents see this video. Well done!

I'm curious how big the compartments are in that tray.

Hello! They are about 1.5"x1.5" - just a bit larger than an ice cube tray
