This one seems to lead to Couplet 35 of the Key to Genera of Perlodidae Nymphs and the genus Isoperla, but I'm skeptical that's correct based on the general look. I need to get it under the microscope to review several choices in the key, and it'll probably end up a different Perlodidae.

Kinda cold, wet...glad I had my gun well oiled! Lemme see here...OK Jonathon, you had five misses...(my target is on the left) Some fine old military rifles (M1 Garands, mine is the one on the left) More fine old military rifles, the two on the left are Model of 1917 (.30-06 just like the Garand)
