spelling correction of earlier ID and family placement

 
Thanks
for catching the typo. Forced me to go back and check the my various lists for spelling. Also found that the key mentioned was originally constructed by Arden R. Gaufin for Utah Plecoptera.

online sources?
Any Internet links for this one? How did you arrive at an ID?

 
sources
Unaware of any links. A key to Utah Plecoptera was aquired from George Edmunds' lab (may have been published later). Should be reliable, except for taxonomic changes since ca. 1988. Being in the same building as Edmunds also made it easy to ask "is this right?".

 
Plecoptera sources
Okay, thanks. There seems to be a dearth of Internet images and info on stoneflies, mayflies, and caddisflies - especially adults. It would be nice to see more images of these groups on BugGuide, so I hope you post any others that you have.

 
Aquatics
The plan is spend more time playing in the water. Might be worth focusing (sorry about that) on these with classification in mind.
