Study of aquatic insects has been proceeding for centuries, possibly millennia. Freshwater habitats from puddles to rivers to lakes, including both lentic (still water) and lotic (running water) habitats, can be home to various species of aquatic insects (Cheng, 1985; Daly, et al., 1998; Glausiusz, 1997). This specially adapted group of insects makes up only 3-5 percent of all insect species, but is very taxonomically diverse (Daly et al., 1998).
