We took a field trip to Birch Lake, looking for aquatic arthropods and other small invertebrates. Among the specimens found either at the lake, in the lab, or both, were amphipods, copepods, daphnia, leeches, midge larva, dragonfly larva, snails, and frogs. The lab sheet and "key questions" for field notes can be found below, along with some pictures of the creatures.
