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.
