Uh--what is that again? Actually, it's a long word for a simple idea. A benthic macroinvertebrate is a stream-dwelling creature.

Explore the different kinds of creatures that you can find in this interactive. Then try looking for creatures in a stream near you. (Ask your parents first, of course.)
