​MacroBlitz

Observe aquatic macroinvertebrates.
For science. ​For learning.
Picture
Aquatic macroinvertebrates are small (but not microscopic) water-dwelling critters that are important to scientists, natural resource managers, anglers, conservationists, outdoor recreationists, hikers, educators, birds, fish, frogs, raccoons, and others.

​MacroBlitz inspires and empowers people to find and photograph aquatic macroinvertbrates and upload these photos to iNaturalist for science and for learning. 

What do you find when you dip a net into a stream or pond? If you find a critter, take a photo and upload to iNaturalist to share your discoveries with the wold. That is ​MacroBlitz.
