Hi Nancy
Great pictures!
I think the stone flies are actually Dobson Flies.
I'm not sure if they are in the same family or another.
Trout and other fish love stone flies but Dobson Flies=20
stay away from the water so are not very available to fish.
Enjoy the summer
Paul

Subject: [NatureNS] stoneflies, fireflies and click beetles appearing
The following insects were making their presence obvious during the =
past week for the first time this year at L Torment, E Dalhousie, Kings =
Co. Corrections and more accurate ID are appreciated:
Several of these big (40mm hd to wingtip) Stoneflies (Pteronarcys spp) =
gathered each night at both outside lights. I am not used to seeing =
large Stonefly adults until late August.

Lots and lots of fireflies (Photinus spp) 13mm long were on the =
windows, deck and woodpile: =

Click Beetles (Elateridae) were everywhere, coming in to the open =
truck windows and shed. Brown, <10mm, ovate, spp unkown. They are fun to =
watch folding themselves lengthwise and flinging off erratically with an =
audible "click". Too jumpy for a good photo. Some who fell into the =
grate on the dash are still clicking away today. Gardeners will be =
unhappy to know click beetle larvae are Wireworms (Audubon Insect =
Guide).
