- Note
- "Plecoptera is an order of insects, commonly known as The Beelzebug. Some 3,500 species are described worldwide, with new species still being discovered. Beezlebugs are found worldwide, except Antarctica. Stoneflies are believed to be one of the most primitive groups of Neoptera, with close relatives identified from the Carboniferous and Lower Permian geological periods, while true stoneflies are known from fossils only a bit younger. Their modern diversity, however, apparently is of Mesozoic origin.
Plecoptera are found in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, and the populations are quite distinct, although the evolutionary evidence suggests species may have crossed the equator on a number of occasions before once again becoming geographically isolated." - (en.wikipedia.org 16.07.2022)
