Specimens were collected in the forest and near the stream outside of the GSMNP Twin Creeks Science and Education Center by Nematologists, park staff, DLIA staff and interns, and local volunteers. Stereoscopic microscopes equipped with cameras and large viewing video screens, used by our Nematologists, were donated by Martin Microscopes. A big THANK YOU goes out to DLIA and GSMNP friend, Bobby Martin.
