Citizen volunteers may not realize when they have incorrectly identified an aquatic insect and may not understand the importance of verifying all findings before submitting data to regional coordinators for archiving. The goals of Version 2 of the web site are to improve the accuracy of insect identifications by volunteers by (1) drawing attention to the possibility of making an error, (2) providing an online module that teaches volunteers how to determine if an error was made by modeling how an expert does it, and (3) then providing a resource to help correct the error.
