Posts: 1218		Taeniopteryx nivalis....Just a guess here...An Early Black Stone?

I've already hedged my bet due to in only being 2/3...But I'm not sure just how old the photo is...My second guess: Allocapnia granulata...These may be out and about now...Tiny Black Stone...I was just looking at a penny and trying to gauge the hook size...I may stick with my first guess...Just call me wishy-washy!

Posts: 442		What have I got to lose, I haven’t hit one yet. I would say from the Family Capniidae but the tails should be visible. That leaves me thinking Leuctridae. Those wings do appear rolled but I understand how deceptive photos can be.

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."

Posts: 397		The best I could tell is it is the same bug as what Jason collected. Both stoneflies are from the same river. But mine was from last Spring and Jason's photos were from 2004.

Posts: 2021		Looks pretty close to me, although I think there are multiple species of Taeniopgerygids in that river and I can't tell the adults apart at a glance.
