“Freshwater macroinvertebrates provide a useful and reliable indicator of the health of our rivers, streams, ponds and wetlands.  Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive and accurate identification guide to the animals that inhabit our freshwaters.
The Waterbug Book contains an easy-to-use key to all macroinvertebrate groups and includes high quality colour photographs of live specimens.  It provides a wealth of basic information on the biology of macroinvertebrates and describes the SIGNAL method for assessing river health.  The book is full of practical tips about where to find various animals and what their presence indicates about their environment”
