Golden Stones
This common name refers to only one family.
Stonefly Family Perlidae
These are often called Golden Stones.
Perlidae is probably the most abundant genus of large stoneflies. Every angler who turns over a rock now and then is familiar with their flat bodies and hasty scurrying. They are large yellow insects as both nymphs and adults.
