This data release includes sampling location data, the information about sequenced organisms and the SRA accession number for the 16S whole-organism sequencing data for larval aquatic insects, emergent adult insects, and two riparian spiders from Torch Lake and Gratiot Lake (N=3 sites at each Lake). Torch Lake (Houghton County, Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan, USA) is a Great Lakes Area of Concern (AOC) and a former EPA Superfund Site and owing to a high concentration of copper and other co-occurring metals from historic mining operations, while no mining or processing activity has taken place in the nearby Gratiot Lake basin (Keweenaw County, Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan, USA).
