What does a stone fly look like?
Stoneflies are typically characterized by their elongated bodies, which range from about 5 to 30 millimeters in length. They have two pairs of membranous wings that are usually held flat over their bodies when at rest, and their wings often feature a distinct vein pattern. Stoneflies also possess long antennae and six legs, with a generally slender appearance. Their coloration can vary, but they are often found in shades of brown, yellow, or olive.
Are stoneflies carnivores or herbivores?
herbivors i think Some species of stoneflies (there are 1700 species) are carnivores some omnivores, and some are indeed herbivores. They will variously hunt small invertebrates (eg insects), scavenge, or consume leaf litter. Their presence is considered an indicator of clean water, as they are sensitive to pollutants.

What is a stonefly niche?
Stoneflies are aquatic insects that inhabit streams and rivers, playing a critical role in freshwater ecosystems as both prey and predators. They are primarily herbivores or detritivores, feeding on algae, plant material, and decaying organic matter. Stoneflies are also an important indicator species for water quality, as they are sensitive to pollution and environmental disturbances.
How do male stoneflies attact other mates?
they beat there abdomens on a tree or rock (beating there abdomens means they go back and forth in a humping motion)

How are humans affected by stoneflies?
Stoneflies play a crucial role in freshwater ecosystems, serving as indicators of water quality due to their sensitivity to pollution. Their presence suggests a healthy environment, which is vital for human activities such as fishing and recreation. Additionally, they contribute to the food web, supporting various species that humans may rely on for food or ecological balance. However, the decline of stonefly populations can signal environmental degradation, impacting human communities dependent on clean waterways.
