3rd-5th Field Report from Glen's Ditch 11-18-09

On 11-18-09 we went to Glen’s Ditch to collect data. It was the first trip with snow. (It was very slippery!) We found a caddisfly on the south side of Glen’s Ditch caught in a trap and an amphipod on the north side caught in a net. Jordan spotted a fish on the north side in our net too. Jordan also caught a caddisfly in the net on the north side. When we went it was lightly snowing and cold. The caddisfly and the amphipods that we have been finding are macroinvertebrates. Macroinvertebrates are animals that do not have a backbone and you can see with your own eye.
