 Posts: 2604 | Hi Paul, I'm assuming these are from your NY days and small? Besides being an immature perlid & an immature heptageniid, I can't tell any more from the photos. What do you think they are? | |

Posts: 1776 | Not biting, eh? I'd like to wait (or bait) on Creno and Konchu. However I'll spare everyone the one-sided glee (mine) in knowing that they are from China. I caught them there in a little mountain stream that also contained freshwater crabs that look just like saltwater crabs! Very weird. What's cool is the similarity to the critters we know here, a clue as to the stunning age of these lineages, and the geologic forces that eventually separated them. | |
