stage, serve as an energy source in fresh water (lakes,
ponds, streams, rivers) fisheries. They include but are
not limited to: eggs, larvae, nymphs, scuds, leeches,
stoneflies, caddis flies, mosquitos, dragonflies, he-
ligrammites, etc. Specimen photos or drawing of
specimens may be displayed in a three ring binder.
Photos and drawings must be the original work of the

drawings are to include the name of the collector, date
collected/photographed/drawn, order name, common
name, name of body of water from which specimen
was found, county, and state.

Body of Water: Lost Lake
County/State: Hood River, OR
Phases are based on the number of specimens exhib-
ited. Each collection is progressive. Exhibitors are ex-
pected to add 5 new preserved specimens, photo-
graphs, or drawings to their exhibit each year in addi-
tion to those exhibited the previous year. Exhibitors
are not able to combine preserved specimens, photo-
graphs, or drawings as a single exhibit.
