Needs fact-checking. Refers to NSF-funded LTER sites as "environmental research" instead of "ecological research". Really lazy mistakes

"But I can't move a muscle, even when the mayflies begin to hover and sting."
Mayflies don't bite or sting. Any naturalist worth their salt would know that, especially if researching an aquatic organism. This line discredits the scientific merit this book may have had. The historical perspective may yet hold up, but starting to get annoyed with the jumping around and memoir-esque aspects. Really disappointing.
