Revised EPT List, and yes, those nymphs were Acroneuria evoluta

Still sweating it out -- literally! -- in central Virginia, and it's supposed to be hotter next week.

Steven Beaty has confirmed that, using current species descriptions, the nymph in the photo at the top of the page appears to be Acroneuria evoluta.  (See the entry of 6/12.)  So, it is a species we find in the Rivanna, usually in the fall, and I've found it at Darden Towe Park in C'ville, and in Fluvanna County at the Crofton bridge.  Apparently, this is the first time this species has been recorded in the state of Virginia.

On 9/8/12, I posted an EPT List for central Virginia.  While I've tried to update that as things have proceeded, I think it's worthwhile to post a "revised" list based that shows where things stand at the moment.  Here it is.
