Stonefly

Stoneflies keep their wings flat over their body at rest. They have a flat long body and 2 short hairlike tails at end of abdomen. They are found close to freshwater and hide under rocks and trees during the day. Many don't feed as adults or eat algae or plant matter. They are important as fish and animal food.
