Invertebrate ID Tips
After each Cryptic Critter competition on our website we will be adding a new article on invertebrate identification tips within this section of our website. Each article is written by one of APEM’s very own Taxonomy experts! As we add to the list of species we are hoping to cover all of the BMWP families eventually and build a portfolio of ID tips for all fellow taxonomists, experienced or novice, to utilise and use as either a source of information or a helpful learning tool. Please do check back on a regular basis for every new ID tips article and we hope that they are as useful as they are interesting.

Here are the list of the ID tips we have so far ...
Elmidae Family
Ephemeridae Family
Planorbidae Family
Caenidae Family
Corixidae ID Tips
Glossosomatidae Family
Nemouridae Family
Chloroperlidae Family
