Wetlands are important habitats for animals.
One kind of animal that you might not think to look for there is insects. Yet there are more species of insects than of all the other animal species combined, and they live in almost all known habitats on earth. You can find insects in any body of water, unless it s very polluted. Go to a nearby body of water. Before you do any collecting, look around.
