The Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University with Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Stroud Water Research Center, and Clemson University have officially launched Macroinvertebrates.org, the online Atlas of Common Freshwater Macroinvertebrates of Eastern North America. The expanded collection features nine orders of aquatic insects plus other benthic macroinvertebrates commonly used in water quality biomonitoring and environmental education, with 150 taxa total.

In this mini-walkthrough session, you’ll dive right into the site’s many engaging tools including a new free app, ID quizzes, learning and teaching tools, giga-pan images, videos and more to bring you into the magical world of freshwater macroinvertebrates!
