Freshwater Insects UK vs the World Blog

As part of their Kickstart Placement with the Digitisation Team, Joseph Dean authored a blog entitled UK vs The World examining the difference in data on labels in the Ephemeroptera (mayflies), Plecoptera (stoneflies) and Trichoptera (caddisflies) collection, also known as EPT for short.

These are three orders of insects found in freshwater systems across the world. These three key groups are important bioindicators, meaning that their presence and the size of their populations can give us an idea about the health of a freshwater habitat.

This dataset holds the twelve specimens referred to in this blog.
