Xanthoperla apicalis can reach a body length of about 5.5 mm (0.22 in) in males, of about 6 mm (0.24 in) in females, with a forewing length of about of 6–.9 mm (0.236–0.035 in) in males and of 6.8–7.9 mm (0.27–0.31 in) in females. These small stoneflies have convex and protruding eyes and a rather narrow and long pronotum. The head is pale yellow, with black margins. Abdomen shows a relatively short dorsal dark. Legs are yellowish.[6]
Biologyedit
This species of stoneflies has one generation a year (univoltine). Adults can be found from Spring to Summer, between May and July. Larvae have a carnivorous-detritivorous diet, while adults feed on pollen from angiosperms and pinaceae.[6][7]
