And, I shouldn't forget to mention R.W. Pennak's book, Fresh-water
invertebrates of the United States, an indisensable book if you are
interested in the critters that live alongside the fish that we fancy! You
can find the book at http://www.acornnaturalists.com/p14033.htm. It's a bit
expensive at $109.95 but worth it. Earlier editions are sometimes found in
used book stores and are worth owning if you want to save a few bucks.
