A first for me! Boreus brumalis? - Boreus brumalis - Female
8th Crow Wing Lake, Hubbard County, Minnesota, USA
March 10, 2012
Size: Approx. 3-4mm
This is the first time I've found one of these Snow Scorpionflies. Temps were in the mid 50s F (About 53F), sunny and slightly breezy. I found this little gem on some snow on our lake, near some Wild Rice stems that were sticking out of the ice and snow. I'd like to get better pictures if I see one again.
