How can I catch small insects from a river?
I have to do a biology project in which I need small insects from the water. There is a small River Near my home but I'm not sure the best way to get them out. They need to stay alive for a few hours after I go out, do I just stick a net into the river? Or what would be best?
I used to work as a biologist River. best way is to get a 4foot by 3 foot gauge pieces really fine netting, tie two poles and get a friend to walk in water shallow with you, dragging you behind. After about 30 feet from the edge of the end that was in the water, the poles are parallel to the ground. it catch and hold all insects.
