What bug is it???

pilonm Sep 01, 2007 08:18 PM

Hello,

This strange, long and very impressive insect was lying on our patio door last June 19th in Sherbrooke, Quebec (near Vermont/Maine)...

Do you know what it is??

Can it be a Plecoptera??

If it is the case, is it possible to know the genum/family/species???

Thank you very much for your great help!

Michel

Hello Michel,

Looks like: Pteronarcys dorsata. aka Salmon fly.

Hello,

Finally the deepest I can go is with the family...

My fly is then a Perlidae sp. sp.

Thank you very much for your help!

Michel
