Insect Survey at Big River

IMG 8543 IMG 8540The Institute recently went up into the High Country south of Eildon to do an aquatic insect survey at the Jim Bullock Reserve.

Some interesting Ephemeroptera and Odonata were collected in order to add to the holdings of the Victorian Regional Insect Collection. The trip was also an opportunity to test out the new shelter annex designed to piggy back onto the NIOE van.

All in all, a great trip into some spectacular country.
