# Title Small Winter Stoneflies (A. aurora, female and male) Description A female Small Winter Stonefly (likely Allocapnia aurora), with a male mate riding on her back, walks on a stone bridge near a stream in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This photo shows the first step of the mating process: the male mounts the female and, with his front legs and mandibles, grasps her near the base of her wings to avoid falling off while she's moving.
