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.

Can anyone tell me what these are?? They were discovered about a month ago in the Maiden Creek, Kempton, PA. I believe it is a freestone creek, but I could be wrong. Thanks.

Ok, apparently I'm having trouble getting the picture to post.
Please see Photography Forum, sorry for any trouble/wasted time.
