Stoneflies and Snowflies

not a grasshopper or mayfly?
What the heck is this? I live in Alberta Canada, and can’t for the life of me figure out what this is!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Chris,
This is a Giant Stonefly in the family Pteronarcyidae. They are sometimes called Salmonflies. The only way we could get your photos on our homepage was to photograph them with a digital camera on the computer screen from the email as we were not able to open the png file. Hence the quality is rather poor.
