Please help me identify this guy. - Hagenius brevistylus
Enola, Faulkner County, Arkansas, USA
April 1, 2010
We found this back in April and I thought I would be able to identify it, but I have quickly learned that entomology is not easy. My son caught this in the water of a small stream. We visited the stream again today and caught several more, but they were smaller. If you could help point me in the right direction with the Order and Common name we would be grateful. Thanks.

Dragonfly naiad of some kind.
Perhaps someone else will be able to narrow it down for you.

Thanks for your help
Thanks a lot. I certainly wasn't looking at Dragonflies, but with your help I found several pictures of these things online. Thanks again and have a great day.
