The Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, Megaloptera, and Trichoptera of Cowpens National Battlefield (COWP), Kings Mountain National Military Park (KIMO), and Ninety Six National Historic Site (NISI)

Description

The U.S. Geological Survey conducted an inventory of aquatic insects of the orders Ephemeroptera (mayflies), Odonata (dragonflies, damselflies), Plecoptera (stoneflies), Megaloptera (fishflies, dobsonflies, and hellgrammites), and Trichoptera (caddisflies) (the EOPMT taxa) from Cowpens National Battlefield (COWP), Kings Mountain National Military Park (KIMO), and Ninety Six National Historic Site (NISI) from 2005 to 2007. This inventory is part of a broader survey of the EOPMT faunas of the 18 parks in the Cumberland Piedmont and the Appalachian Highlands monitoring networks of the National Park Service (NPS) Southeast Region. Standard aquatic sampling techniques supplemented with light-trap sampling were used to investigate the fauna.
