We don’t get many stoneflies on the river Pang #chalkstream but a rather nice one turned up in today’s kick sample.

@numenini Wow, some great footage!

[nicola crockford @numenini]

Indeed the bed of Old Carr Stream is absolutely crawling in Limnephilinae Northern Caddisfly larvae (Limnephilidae); not sure why they always seem so restless, often clambering over each other.

The Riverfly Monitoring Initiative (RMI) is a citizen science project — you don’t need any qualifications or experience to become a monitor. 👇

@Riverflies Always a strong count on the Cald Beck in Cumbria, a rocky and quick flowing tributary of the Caldew 👍

#RiverflySpotlight

The flat-bodied mayfly or stone-clinger. They have plate-like gills that are held out sideways & as their names suggest, a flattened body to help them cling to rocks.

Do you find many in your surveys? If so, tell us where you are based and share some photos!
