Diptera Thought it was a midge. There have been a lot this year and I keep getting bitten by them. But the antenna is too long. Google lens is giving me barklice. So, not sure. Diptera,Geotagged,Stonefly,United States,fly,spring Click/tap to enlarge

    Tricky to see so I'm not sure, but my theory for now is that it could be a stonefly (Order Plecoptera). Posted 2 years ago

      I can't totally tell if the head shape is a match, but I think it might be an alderfly (family Sialidae). Posted 2 years ago

          Looks very possible, but I'm not sure either. Posted 2 years ago
