Insects of Cedar Creek
Order HEMIPTERA
Family VELIIDAE
(Riffle Bugs)
At least three species of Microvelia occur at CCNHA.
I have collected Microvelia hinei at light, and Don Bennett
has also collected Microvelia buenoi and Microvelia
pulchella. 35 species of Riffle Bugs occur in North America.
The genus Rhagovelia also
occurs in Minnesota, but has not been collected at Cedar Creek.
