Rolled-winged Stonefly

Rolled-winged Stonefly
Saint Albans,Home/porch light, Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA
March 1, 2006
Size: 1/2 in.
In this photo I tried out another feature of my camera by changing it to black and white. With the natural color of this insect I think the result is more accurate. I also subjectively think there was some improvement in being able to see details.

Family ID
Mr. Fox-

Not sure whether you are just testing or are seeking family identification. In any event, you appear to have a Rollwinged Stonefly, also called a Needlefly, family Leuctridae. It appears that there is only one other photo of this family in the guide.

Leuctra duplicata (Atlantic Needlefly)
Leuctra ferruginea (Eastern Needlefly)
Leuctra rickeri (Spined Needlefly)
Leuctra sibleyi (Brook Needlefly)
Leuctra tenuis (Narrow-lobed Needlefly)
Leuctra truncata (Truncate Needlefly)
Megaleuctra flinti (Shenandoah Needlefly)
Paraleuctra sara (Appalachian Needlefly)
Zealeuctra fraxina (Ashcave Needlefly)
