| Healdsburg, CA Posts: 356 | These were collected during the spring and summer from Mill Creek, a tributary of Dry Creek and the Russian River. They were collected from areas with a moderate flow and a gravel and cobble base. There was little filamentous algae but good growths of diatoms. The larvae and pupae are 6-7 mm. The cases are 8 mm. The larvae were identified using Merritt, Cummins and Berg (2008). The pupae were identified to family using the above. | |
