The Current
Macroinvertebrates, like this adult mayfly, are critical to our watershed acting as indicators of overall river health and food for aquatic life, birds and other animals.
Special to the Daily
Bugs.
That word alone can send a spine shivering for some, as they consider all of the creepy crawling insects we encounter on a daily basis like mosquitoes, black flies, ticks (OK, that last one is technically an arachnid, but causes me to run. Fast).
But in the world of water, we love bugs. Benthic macroinvertebrates, or insects lacking a spine and large enough to see with the naked eye that start life in the water, are critical food for fish and help to tell us about the health of a stream. In Eagle County, the most common species of these insects include mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies, scuds, snails and midge flies.
