Macroinveretebrates – our focus Macroinvertebrates are an essential ingredient in healthy streams, serving as an essential part of the stream’s food chain and reflecting the overall livability of the stream for all types of organisms.

What are macroinvertebrates? An animal without a backbone, large enough to be seen with the naked eye. Examples of macroinvertebrates include: crayfish, snails, clams, aquatic worms, leeches, and the larval and nymph stages of many insects, including dragonflies, mosquitoes, and mayflies. “Macroinvertebrates are excellent indicators of water quality because they cannot move to a different section of water if the water they are in is uninhabitable.” (“Vocabulary Catalog List Detail”)

Where do they live? Macroinvertebrates live in streams, as an important part of the stream food web. These invertebrates feed on bacteria, fungi, algae, and partially decomposed leaves and provide food for predators. (Rapp)
