Posts: 34I am not 100% sure, but I think it is a Chloroperlid. If not, it is a Perlodid (I don't think it is though). Do you have pictures of outstretched wings? Do you know the size?

Posts: 2737		It's been a long time, but I think this one was pretty small. You're probably right about Chloroperlidae.

Posts: 1Looks like Perlodidae to me. In the ventral view, notice the metathoracic sternacostal sutures that extend laterally from the anterior end of furcal pits.
