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

Vernal Pools provide an important habitat for insects and other invertebrate animals. You can often find beetles, caddisflies, phantom midge larvae, aquatic sowbugs, and scuds swimming in these shallow pools. Almost all of the creatures in the video live in a vernal pool at Reinstein Woods; can you figure out which one was filmed elsewhere?
