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) in Little River Canyon National Preserve (LIRI) and Russell Cave National Monument (RUCA) 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. In addition, data from Dr. Richard Brown of Mississippi State University, and from published papers provided important additional sources of information regarding the occurrence and distribution of aquatic insects in LIRI. Standard aquatic sampling techniques supplemented with light-trap sampling were used to investigate the fauna at 53 locations. Of 150 collections, 108 yielded 203 species of EOPMT taxa.
