Stoneflies

Scientific name:
(Order: Plecoptera)

Facts: Adult stoneflies have long antennae and wings folded over the back. Stoneflies have aquatic immatures which prefer clear, flowing streams which limits their distribution in Texas. The few species that we find in Texas (about 20) are usually in central Texas or the Hill Country.
