What lurks beneath the surface: the aquatic insects of Manitoba
This workshop will highlight the incredible diversity and behaviour of aquatic insects found in the many lakes, ponds, and streams that dot this Province. Examples of insects that will be discussed include elegant silk net-weaving caddisflies, intimidating 2-inch long ‘toe-biters’, and the often-newsworthy burrowing mayflies (fishflies) that descend onto Gimli and Grand Beach each summer.
