Definition
Plural of alderfly; aquatic insects with four wings that live near streams and are closely related to dobsonflies and antlions.
Etymology
From alder (the type of tree where these insects are commonly found) + fly (the insect); the name reflects the insect's habitat preference for alder trees along waterways.
Kelly Says
Alderfly larvae are aquatic assassins—they hide on the stream bottom and ambush passing prey with predatory strikes, then crawl onto land to become delicate, lace-winged flying adults.
