Insects in a Trout Stream

This is part of a new series of educational nature videos from Reinstein Woods

Mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies live in streams with cool water, lots of oxygen, and very little pollution. The presence of these insects help biologists determine the health of a stream. All of these insects are important food sources for trout. These videos were taken on a tributary of Cazenovia Creek in Western New York.
