Watch this video to learn more about stoneflies and the role they play in nature! 

​

"Stoneflies are amazing aquatic insects. While the rest of the world is frozen, tiny stonefly nymphs crawl across the stream bottom and out of the stream to emerge as adults and walk about on the stream-side snow or dead vegetation. As adults, stoneflies strut on the snow while making a drumming sound to find a mate. Snowy stream banks are where one goes to spot adult winter stoneflies and the females, when they fly to the stream surface to lay their eggs, are an important source of food for trout and other freshwater fishes."
