Overview of the experiment design showing the three-level food web. Half of the Daphnia magna were exposed to microplastics (MPs), and half were used as the control prey. The daphnids were then used to feed the damselfly Ischnura elegans. The damselflies were either exposed or not to the pesticide deltamethrin (DMT). Finally, the dragonfly Aeschna cyanea were fed with the damselflies. Neither of the three species were exposed to MPs or DMT in the Control group
