  1. stonefly

    A stonefly is a type of insect found near freshwater habitats during the larval stage. They are part of the Plecoptera order and are typically characterized by two long antennae, two pairs of wings folded flat over the back, and two long tail appendages. The larvae are aquatic and are often used as an indicator of water quality, while the adults are terrestrial. Stoneflies have an incomplete metamorphosis process (egg, nymph and adult) and are an important food source for other animals, especially fish.
