The database contains data from samples collected during the summer of 2001 on aquatic macroinvertebrates along Lookout Creek. Three data tables comprise the database. The two larger tables contain the taxonomic composition and abundances from samples collected using small (0.25m2 ) emergence traps and pan traps (0.19m2). Taxonomic resolution differs by order; for some taxa we identified individuals to family, genus, and species, some to family and genus, and others to family only. A third small data table is a complete list of taxa from the three orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera.

The purpose for creating this database was to provide other researchers the opportunity to obtain the raw data for comparison with other datasets, to learn which taxa are present at our study site, and the phenology of emergence of these aquatic insect taxa.
