Wikipedia
stone fly
Plecoptera is an order of insects, commonly known as stoneflies. Some 3,500 species are described worldwide, with new species still being discovered. Stoneflies are found worldwide, except Antarctica. Stoneflies are believed to be one of the most primitive groups of Neoptera, with close relatives identified from the Carboniferous and Lower Permian geological periods, while true stoneflies are known from fossils only a bit younger. Their modern diversity, however, apparently is of Mesozoic origin.Plecoptera are found in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, and the populations are quite distinct, although the evolutionary evidence suggests species may have crossed the equator on a number of occasions before once again becoming geographically isolated.All species of Plecoptera are intolerant of water pollution, and their presence in a stream or still water is usually an indicator of good or excellent water quality.

A stone fly is an insect from the order Plecoptera, found commonly in freshwater habitats. The adults are characterized by their long, slender bodies, two pairs of membranous wings, and long antennae. They are usually brownish or blackish in color. The nymphs (larval stage) are aquatic, living under rocks in clean, cool streams and rivers. Both adult and nymph stage are important food sources for many fish species, making them significant in the world of fly fishing.
