Megaleuctra stigmata (Tiny Winter Black) Stonefly AdultMegaleuctra stigmata (Tiny Winter Black) Stonefly Adult View 3 PicturesThis is one of rarest stoneflies in western Montana. It is a bit unusual that it is fairly abundant in a handful of streams that empty into the east side of Flathead Lake. A very beautiful bug.
