Description

Isoperla carbonaria is a rheophilous species characterised by relatively small size, reaching a length of about 10–13 mm. The basis colour is yellowish. The larvae of this predaceous stonefly mainly feed on Chironomidae, actively hunted across the surface of the substratum.

Distribution

This species is present in France, Italy [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] and Switzerland. [8] [9]

Habitat

In the immature stage Isoperla carbonaria is aquatic and lives in freshwater, while as an adult is terrestrial and flying. [9] It inhabits mountainous streams at an elevation of 0–350 metres (0–1,148 ft) above sea level.

Plecoptera is an order of insects, commonly known as stoneflies. Some 3,500 species are described worldwide, with new species still being discovered. Stoneflies are found worldwide, except Antarctica. Stoneflies are believed to be one of the most primitive groups of Neoptera, with close relatives identified from the Carboniferous and Lower Permian geological periods, while true stoneflies are known from fossils only a bit younger. Their modern diversity, however, apparently is of Mesozoic origin.
