Abstract
Aquatic insects are an important part of the aquatic ecosystem providing varied ecosystem services as provisioning services (feed for fish and other organisms including humans), supporting the aquatic ecosystem in decomposition, nutrient cycling, etc., and being regularly used in biomonitoring studies. Although the benefits provided by aquatic insects are diverse and wide-ranging, they are rarely appreciated in the public domain and by policymakers. The ignorance stems from the lack of knowledge about the aquatic insect community as a whole. Here we try to provide basic information about aquatic insects so that it may be easier to understand their ecology, habitat, population dynamics, and to engage directly with the common people to raise awareness thereby making it easier to take appropriate measures for future research and conservation planning.
