a different species

There's 60 Isoperla species listed at nearctica.com but grammatica isn't one of them.

Edit:

Sorry, I just saw one of the comments I missed.

Perlodidae: Isoperla?

Looks like one of the myriad of species in Isoperla.

Isoperla grammatica?

I found a picture that looked close, and the description said it was a yellow blur in the middle of the day in the summer, which this was.
Here's the site

Thanks for narrowing it down, Donald.

Isoperla grammatica

not known from New England.

I'll have to go back to this location

in the next couple weeks, and see if I can find one to collect. If they aren't know from New England, how close are they known from?

According to the

website you listed, they are European! (at least from Wales). I have never heard of this species before, and it is definitely not from New England. At this moment, there is not a good key to Isoperla adults, though purportedly one will be published before too long through the series on the Stoneflies of North America by the Ohio Biological Survey (adults only).

Stonefly.

Interesting! Definitely Plecoptera order, but have no idea after that:-)

Thanks!

Now *I* know what these things are.
