Ward et al.’s key to orders

Ephemeroptera Mayflies All larvae aquatic Characteristics Wing pads 1 claw on each leg (contrast with Plecoptera) 2-3 terminal segmented filaments (cerci) on abdomen Usually with lateral abdominal gills

Plecoptera Stoneflies All larvae aquatic Characteristics Wing pads 2 claws on each leg (contrast with Ephemeroptera) 2 cerci No lateral abdominal gills

Trichoptera Caddisflies All larvae aquatic Characteristics No wing pads (contrast with Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera) 3 pairs of jointed legs on thorax (contrast with Diptera) 1 pair of terminal abdominal prolegs (contrast with Lepidoptera and larval Coleoptera) Often in cases

Diptera True flies All larvae aquatic Characteristics No jointed legs on thorax, some with prolegs on prothorax (contrast with Trichoptera, larval Coleoptera and Lepidoptera) Very diverse group

What are these taxa? Chironomidae

Coleoptera Beetles Some adults and larvae aquatic Characteristics Mostly lentic except for Elmidae Characteristics Adults 1st pair of wings hardened to form nonoverlapping shell-like covering (elytra) over abdomen (contrast with adult Hemiptera) Chewing mouthparts

Coleoptera Characteristics Larvae 3 pairs of jointed legs on thorax (contrast with Diptera) No terminal abdominal prolegs (contrast with Trichoptera)

Odonata Dragonflies and damselflies All larvae aquatic Characteristics Mostly lentic Characteristics Wing pads No cerci, some with unsegmented terminal gills (contrast with Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera) Grasping mouthparts forming hinged structure (labium) under head (contrast with larval Hemiptera)

Hemiptera True bugs Some adults and larvae aquatic or semi-aquatic Mostly lentic except for Naucoridae Characteristics 1st pair of wings with hardened base and overlapping membranous apical portion (contrast with adult Coleoptera) Sucking/piercing mouthparts forming long jointed beak (contrast with larval Coleoptera and Odonata)

Lepidoptera Butterflies and moths Few larvae aquatic Characteristics Mostly lentic except for Pyralidae Characteristics 3 pairs of jointed legs on thorax (contrast with Diptera) At least 2 pairs of abdominal prolegs terminating in circle of hooklets (crochets) (contrast with Trichoptera and larval Coleoptera)

Megaloptera Dobsonflies and alderflies All larvae aquatic Mostly lentic Characteristics 7-8 pairs of lateral abdominal filaments (contrast with Trichoptera and larval Coleoptera) Sialidae with long pointed filament at apex of abdomen Corydalidae with anal hooks on final abdominal segment
