To join in, simply register
through this website to begin you’re bug hunting adventure!
You will need to choose a waterway near your home or school
and also get your equipment together before you go out to
catch those bugs.
Once you've caught, identified and counted the different
types of bugs, you need to put your results in on the result
pages of this website. Our number crunching bug calculator
will do the rest, giving you the stream pollution index for
your waterway. This number gives you a guide to how healthy
or polluted your waterway is.
The Bug Survey is based on the number and types of water
bugs you find in your waterway. If a stream is polluted more
tolerant water bugs will usually be found in greater numbers
than sensitive ones.
The Bug Detective Guide will help you to identify your catch. It has pictures and
descriptions of some of the common water bugs found in our
streams.
