The first is this guy. I found multiples of these near a clean stream in upstate New York over about 2 weeks. I have found stonefly adults near this stream in previous years if that helps narrow it down. I thought that this was a stonefly at first, but the ones I found before were about 5 times larger at least. Also, these guys that I found this time don't have cerci. This picture shows its wings. The bottom pair are folded in at the bottom and have a larger, more rounded lobe. Its abdomen is segmented and sticks out about 3/4 cm past the thorax. It is hidden in the picture.
The second is this insect. Looks like a Hemipteran, possible Tingidae, but I have yet to find one of those around this area in upstate NY. It has been living in a vial for a week now and has not died yet, so I am hesitant to pin it until it kicks the bucket, making IDing difficult. Tingidae?
