Spiny Water Flea - Bythotrephes longimanus - Female
Stormy Lake, Vilas County, Wisconsin, USA
July 2, 2009
I see that BugGuide is expanding to include freshwater crustaceans, which happen to be something I work with quite a lot. I figured I'd start adding some images, starting with this one, the Spiny Water Flea (Bythotrephes longimanus), an invasive Cladoceran.

sure, that would be more convenient than posting in the forums every time I want to add a new species. I will be focusing more on planktonic species rather than macroinverts, but I have some knowledge of crayfish, amphipods, and those kinds of things too.
