Hex Mayflies
Hexagenia limbata
The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.

Hello,
Here are 3 pictures of a stone fly I photographied on this screen at home (Sherbrooke, Quebec, near Vermont)...
This insect from the Plecoptera order is from the Perlidae family (pretty sure of that) but I have no idea about the species...
Can you help me to identify it???
Thank you again for your kind help!

What is the size of the beast?
Pilonm on Oct 18, 2007October 18th, 2007, 12:53 am EDT
Hello Konchu,
Thank you for your quick reply! It is really appreciated!
The length of the plecopteran is 3.3 cm or around 1.5 inch long from the head (without the antennas) to the end of the wings.
Any idea???
Someone mentionned Pteronarcys dorsata...
I'll have to verify this...
Ciao and thank you!

Michel-
I believe it to be of family Perlidae (Golden Stones), specifically Paragnetina immarginata, which has the common name of Beautiful Stone.
