This is just about the most Isonychia bicolor shucks (
Shuck: The shed exoskeleton left over when an insect molts into its next stage or instar. Most often it describes the last nymphal or pupal skin exited during emergence into a winged adult.) I've ever seen on the rocks, and appropriately enough they're on the river where Art Flick described them in his Streamside Guide.

Here are the empty nymphal cases of Isonychia bicolor mayflies which hatched in early fall in the Catskills by crawling out onto a rock.

This Ephemerella invaria sulphur dun got stuck in its shuck (Shuck: The shed exoskeleton left over when an insect molts into its next stage or instar. Most often it describes the last nymphal or pupal skin exited during emergence into a winged adult.) trying to emerge. This isn't exactly a "natural" pose for a photograph, but it kind of shows what an emerger pattern could look like.

Given their home on a mossy stump in the stream bed, these light orange ants probably end up in the stream from time to time.

Many beetles of this species were jumping around the rocks like popcorn on a mid-April afternoon. I'm sure they end up in the water for the trout at times.

I'm not sure what these clusters of grannoms are doing lying dead and mostly upside down in clusters on the rocks. Anyone have an explanation?

This little leafhopper (also called a jassid by anglers) had apparently just emerged from its nymph.
