Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Images
This part of the website contains categorized images of aquatic macroinvertebrates. Most of the specimens were collected from SW Washington (Clark & Cowlitz Counties). The rest of the macros were collected from other locations in Western Oregon and Washington. Expect future updates and additions to this portion of the website as I continue to collect, photograph, and research local macroinvertebrates. <macro links> |
