The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.

With a bit of help from the microscope, this specimen keys clearly and unsurprisingly to Hydropsyche.
27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Hello Muwafaq-

Somehow, I doubt yours is a serious request. However if it is, Orthoptera is the order of insects containing grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets, all of which are terrestrial, as opposed to aquatic, so you won't find much on them here. You might want to look at BugGuide, which has lots of photos of Orthopterans.
Best regards,

Not my group but a long dormant part of the brain says Dicranota/Pedicia?
