Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Identification.
Discovering whether your waterway is polluted through bug identification.
The results of my day out in the pond with a net, camera, and Marion Huxley, a Freshwater Ecologist from BugUp now based with Sydney Water. We produced 30 macro images and made a booklet to help the community identify bugs and discover if their waterway is healthy or polluted.
