Female Paragnetina (Golden Stone) Stonefly Adult Pictures

Unfortunately I forgot to photograph this one next to the ruler, but I seem to remember it being on the small side for a Perlid, maybe around 2cm.

This stonefly was collected from Aquarium in New York on May 6th, 2007 and added to Troutnut.com by Troutnut on May 18th, 2007.
