from Lloyd Gonzales:
"Chloroperlidae. The markings, venation, and, especially, the unique head shape are that of Kathroperla. The species is probably K. perdita, the (aptly named) 'longhead stonefly'."

Moved from Stoneflies.

Great...
Didn't think there was a chance of getting so close on ID. Thanks to you and Lloyd for your help with this and our other stonefly photos.
