@cl0wnsyrup submitted: this long buddy was hanging out on my sleeve for a good while! the wing stripes are very pretty, are u able to id? western massachusetts
Yes, I can! It's a stonefly, maybe a winter stonefly. They do indeed have beautiful wing venation :)
It's winter where I live, and there no bug friends, except the occasional fly indoors. Are there bugs that can hang out in the snow or in colder climates? Thanks!
Yes, actually! It depends on where you live obviously. But there are snow scorpionflies, snow flies (which are related to crane flies), winter stoneflies, snowfleas (a type of springtail), and ice bugs/ice crawlers, a type of insect in the family Grylloblattidae, just to name a few!
Most scorpionflies aren’t adapted to living in cold whether, but the family Boreidae is! Here’s a snow scorpionfly:

Hello! Ive been noticing some smallish bugs around a lot recently (im in northcentral wv) and after a wee bit of research i think theyre winter stoneflies! I read an article claiming that seeing them could mean spring/warmer weather is coming sooner and also that theyre better indicators than groundhogs..lol. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Cute! Tell them I said hello. They don’t necessarily mean spring is coming soon. Adults emerge from November all the way into summer so it’s not uncommon to see them even in the dead of winter.
Winter Stonefly Search
Help us find some special winter stoneflies!
Winter Stoneflies are elusive. These underwater creatures elude most predators by growing during the winter months when most fish are more sluggish. They live only in good quality streams so searching for them tells us about problems in the river and its streams. For more information about stoneflies check out this article.
