- Aquatic Insects from North Dakota Rivers and Streams (1994)
This website is
an identification key designed to use the advantages of a digital format
to provide pictures and information to aid in insect identification.
The web site currently goes to the family level with description pages
for every family. These pages include descriptions of the group, notes
on the groups ecology, and range maps for the state of North Dakota.

- Key to Aquatic Macroinvertebrates (5431)
Produced by the Stream Biomonitoring Unit of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, this key is a pictorial method of identifying aquatic macroinvertebrates. It is structured so the major groups of aquatic macroinvertebrates can be accurately identified primarily on the basis of photographs instead of traditional written keys that often require the knowledge of unfamiliar terminology. In the future, photographs of selected families, genera and species of macroinvertebrates will be added to the site.
- Pennsylvania Aquatic Insects (2499)
This web site from Penn State University is a vast resource of information on aquatic insects. Users can search or browse the database for an insect species and view maps of the selected species distribution within Pennsylvania, or all of North America.

Those visitors interested in trout fishing may appreciate the two pages on tying flies that can be found by navigating through the section entitled How to Use Site.From The NSDL Scout Report for the Life Sciences, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2002.

Plecoptera
Trichoptera
- The Wonderful Caddis Worm: Sculptural Work in Collaboration with Trichoptera (1121)
Since the early 1980s, artist Hubert Duprat has been utilizing insects to construct some of his "sculptures." By removing caddis fly larvae from their natural habitat and providing them with precious materials, he prompts them to manufacture cases that resemble jewelers' creations. Information theory, as explained by biologists such as Jacques Monod and Henri Atlan, helps us understand what seems to be the insect's aesthetic behavior. The activities of the caddis worm, as manipulated by Hubert Duprat, are prompted by the "noise"---beads, pearls and 18-karat gold pieces---introduced by the artist into the insect's environment. This article is based on a conversation between the artist and art critic Christian Besson.
