Identifying Your Bugs
See the Stream Study Field Manual:
Once you have obtained your sample, and you've picked out over 100 bugs (by following the protocols), it's time to identify what you've found. We're looking for 27 types (or orders) of bugs. We have several resources to help you do this.
Here are two handouts which will help you identify what BMIs you have found:
Also view the Prezi below to help you identify the bugs.
(If you can't see anything above you need to download the latest flash plug-in)
