Yes, strange little beings are they.
They do us no harm and we should not kill them.
Let them live their short lives and be happy.
The Stone Fly Folk
John has been fishing.
What do you think he caught?
Nary fish, my dears, but a goodly number of stone flies, which he has brought to show us.
Yes, Mollie, they do remind us a very little of our May flies, only, of course, they are many times larger.
