Many food chains in Canadian systems have several successive links. For example, plant–moth caterpillar–insect parasitoid–insect hyperparasitoid in forests, or periphyton–mayfly larva–stonefly larva–fish–heron in aquatic habitats. Multiple links occur even in the high arctic (see figure), such as microflora–springtail–spider–bird. Most systems add multiple cross links. So what is the longest set of links that includes insects in a Canadian ecosystem? Examples submitted will be published in the Newsletter.
