Hello! Bug from Hell’s Canyon Oregon here!
Beautiful laced wings on this bug we saw at Indian Crossing campground on the Imnaha river, Hells Canyon national recreation area on the border of Oregon and Idaho. It was in a forested area. Any ideas? Love the site!!!!! Thanks!

Hi Justin,
This is a Giant Stonefly. BugGuide has a matching photo, but does not identify the species. They only identify it to the family level, Pteronarcyidae.
