Stonefly nymphs are aquatic, flattened, with 6 sprawling legs and with a segmented abdomen bearing 2 long antenna-like “tails” (cerci). The antennae on the head are long, too. Gills are tuft like and usually positioned at the bases of the legs, on the underside of the body. Each foot has 2 claws. The lengths of the nymph are ½ to 1½ inches.
