In other years, it may appear in small numbers or not at all. (2022 is being reported as a low year in many areas.) They are omnivorous filter feeders or detritus, algae, and small organisms. In turn, they are important food for numerous predatory insects as well as waterfowl. Image above, Boxford, MA February 2020.
