Stonefly[edit]

Original - Eusthenia sp. (possibly E. costalis), Marriott Falls Track, Mt Field National Park, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
According to the identifying entomologist all four Tasmanian species in the Eusthenia genus look very similar. I'd be about 90% confident that it is E. costalis. The exact ID isn't so important given that the order Plecoptera has minimal quality photo coverage.
