Macroinvertebrates of the Mississippi River

During early 2010 I did a series of illustrations of macroinvertebrates for the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.

The illustrations depicted important species of insect and crustaceans that live in the river systems throughout the country. Each has an important role, whether as food for other lifeforms, predators feeding off these prey species, or as pest species. The exhibit involved the species and their relative tolerances to water pollution.

All images created in Illustrator.
