habitat Rocky Creek near Coniferous Forest

notes Adults. During late summer these guys do a great migration to streams & creeks to likely breed. There were thousands in a small area and it was impossible to look for stuff without stepping on a few. I'm not sure but the light ones could quite possibly be ones that have recently molted.
