Spring Stonefly
The Nemouridae are a family of stoneflies containing more than 700 described species, occurring primarily in the Holarctic region.Nelson, C. Riley. 1996. Nemouridae. Version 1 January 1996 (under construction). http://tolweb.org/Nemouridae/13941/1996.01.01 in The Tree of Life Web Project, http://tolweb.org/ Members of this family are commonly known as spring stoneflies or brown stoneflies. Fly fishermen often refer to these insects as tiny winter blacks. Although these insects use a wide range of flowing-water habitats, they tend to be most prevalent in smaller streams. The nymphs are distinctive, being broad-bodied and bristly with divergent wing pads.

Lednia
''Lednia'' is a monotypic genus, containing the single species ''Lednia tumana'' (the meltwater stonefly)—a rare, alpine, aquatic insect that is endangered due to likely loss of glaciers and snowpacks in the Glacier National Park and other habitat in the Rocky Mountains due to climate change. The differentiation from the other ''Nemourids'' is to look at the abdominal stremite which only the Lednia and paranemoura lack the vesicles of the 9th abdominal stermite. The insect lives in the coldest streams just downstream of the glacier or snowbank sources and is considered as an early warning indicator species of climate warming in mountain ecosystems.The way the aquatic insects in this case ''Lednia tumana'' is able to use biochemical and physiological strategies in order to dimmish cold stress which allows them to survive colder climates The Fisheries and Wildlife Service is being petitioned to protect the species under the U.S..Endangered Species Act The Endangered S ...
