Summer Stones and Hoppers should kick into gear this year by mid to late July. The Summer Stone is technically a cousin to the Golden Stone. The male is almost wingless, hence the name "Shortwing Stone". The Female on the other hand is fully winged. The Summer stone is very light in color as shown below. Immediately after hatching the Summer stone can appear to almost 'glow'. This nocturnal creature is Yakima's premier Stone fly.
