Winter Stonefly - Family Capniidae

A small stonefly that was about 10 mm long. It was blackish/dark brown and had reduced wing venation. It had long cerci on the end of its abdomen.

Adults emerge in winter and early spring.

Habitat: I spotted dozens of them today near a river in a deciduous forest.
