I have been retained by the City of Denton, TX to put together a compilation of larval/nymph photos to aid our volunteers and other cities' personnel in identification. These photos/ID's only need to go to family for water quality purposes. I have a list of commonly found Orders and Families that I could post if anyone is interested in helping me out. You will, of course, get credit for the photo.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. You can reach me directly at rdjudy@charter.net.
