Sweltsa (Sallflies) Stonefly Adult
View 8 PicturesThese stoneflies--abundant during midday--seemed at first to be flying around with plain yellow bodies, but on closer inspection turn out to have striking, fiery red abdomens.

 Administrator Bellevue, WAPosts: 2737 | I didn't do the best job taking pictures of key characteristics (such as wing venation), but I'm hoping somebody might be familiar with the striking color pattern. I'd love to know the species on this one. | |
