You need to specify the aquatic insect and the type of aquatic system into a web search engine. For example, type in "aquatic insects" + lakes, and you'll get links from pages that have information (somewhat) matching these criteria. Probably a better strategy would be to specify the group of aquatic insects and the type of, or name of, marsh/bog/pond/lake. For example, "trichoptera" + "bogs" yielded this result:

etc. etc.

 

So specify, if possible, in which aquatic insect your interested, and what (or which) aquatic habitat you'd like. As you probably know, you can also narrow down your search by locality by adding more search criteria. Other than that, I'd have to refer you to the printed literature.

 

Hopefully this helps.

Cheers, Ethan

Damselflies, dragonflies, chironomids, (water boatmen, backswimmers, certain other aquatic Heteropterans), and some families of aquatic beetles (like predaceous diving beetles) are more commonly found in ponds than streams.

 

You have probably heard the saying, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Well, in that context, Ethan was attempting to teach you how to fish for information.
