Baetis

Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

This topic is about the Kingdom Animalia

Metazoa is the kingdom of animals. Worms are metazoans and so were the dinosaurs. Trout and mayflies are metazoans. You are probably a metazoan.

See Arthropoda for most of the invertebrates trout eat, or skip straight to the insect orders Ephemeroptera (Mayflies), Trichoptera (Caddisflies), or Plecoptera (Stoneflies), which are the three most important.

The non-arthropod classes are listed on this site only to hold pictures, so far, and I haven't put much information up yet about them.

Me and my friend are trying to do a Biology project on Animalia but we can't find any of the information that we need! We need the information before the end of next week. Please help us!

Sounds to me like you're just having fun, but on the remote chance that you're actually serious, what specific information do you think you need, which you are unable to find? Without stating what you are looking for, no one could possibly help you find it, nor would you be able to recognize it, even if you were to accidentally stumble across it.

Animalia is the baddest kingdom in the whole domain of Eukaryota. Take that, Protista!

I know you guys are assuming that Class of '06 is goofing around, but what if they really need help? On the other hand, if they're really having that much trouble finding info on Animalia on the Internet, perhaps they need a different kind of help than we can provide.

Gonzo-

Oh, I don't doubt Classof06 and friend need serious help. After all, it appears they are still taking classes while all of their classmates graduated six months ago.

Rog,

I guess the possibility that they are really inept graduate students with a lot of catching up to do before their dissertation is out of the question?

Gonzo-

Guess I missed that possibility. How on earth did I overlook all those obvious clues?

They could always be the kindergarten class of '06 writing a report on animals for first grade.

See what I mean? Now, don't you feel bad about picking on a couple of kindergarteners? Perhaps we should alert their parents about their Internet access. If those poor naive kids found their way onto Troutnut.com, I shudder to think about the other frightening places they might visit!
