Aquatic Macro-Invertebrates Specimens
Macro-invertebrates, regardless of developmental
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, leech-
es, stoneflies, caddis flies, mosquitos, dragonflies,
heligrammites, 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
exhibitor. Preserved specimens are to be displayed in
specimen jars in display boxes. Each specimen, includ-
ing photos or drawings, requires a label be affixed
to the display box or page for easy reading. Labels
(3/4”x1-1/2”) on preserved specimens, photos or
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.
Label example:
Collector/Date: J. Smith 01/01/01
Order Name: Ephemeroptera
Common Name/Stage: Mayfly Adult or Nymph
Body of Water: Lost Lake
County/State: Hood River, OR
Phases are based on the number of specimens
exhibited. Each collection is progressive. Exhibitors
are expected to add 5 new preserved specimens,
photographs, or drawings to their exhibit each year
in addition to those exhibited the previous year. Exhibi-
tors are not able to combine preserved specimens,
photographs, or drawings as a single exhibit.
The entries must be accompanied by a 4-H Aquatic
