Supplementary material of the PhD thesis entitled: "Characterising freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity in the Okavango Delta (Botswana) using taxonomic and molecular techniques".

Contains 2,194 high quality pictures (1.57 Gb) used to identified all morphospecies of Chironomidae (Diptera) found in the Okavango Delta (Botswana). The folder includes pictures of larvae, pupae, pupal exuviae, adults and anecdotic findings such as deformities.

Pictures were taking after sorting and mounting of specimens on microscope slides, using an iPhone 11 pro at 100-1000x magnification. There are several pictures of each morphospecies showing key features for its identification. Each individual picture has been cropped and edited using the iPhone picture edition software.
