Their six legs and antennae help them explore preferred habitats such as fast-moving streams and rivers, with a life stage that can be underwater. Aquatic stone flies eat algae and bits of plants, while adults eat other small insects and can even play dead to avoid predators.

These cool critters aren't much bigger than your thumb and are usually brown or black. They are covered in tiny hairs and have long, thin antennae that they use to explore their surroundings. You can also tell them apart from other bugs by their two sets of wings that fold flat over their bodies.  \nRemember those long antennae we talked about? They, along with the stone flies' six legs, are very important for helping them live in their favorite places-fast-moving streams and rivers! Stoneflies are even happy spending some of their life under water, just like a fish! But don't worry, they also have a terrestrial stage where they get to explore the land too.  \nNow, just like you and me, these little adventurers need to eat. In their aquatic stage, they munch on things like algae and tiny bits of plants, but when they're all grown up, they switch to a diet of other small insects. This means they help to control the population of other bugs, making them great little helpers for humans. But it's not all about eating-stone flies have been known to play dead to avoid becoming a meal themselves!  \nLet's circle back to the human helper part, because stone flies are more important to us than you might think. Not only do they control other pest populations, but they also act as indicators for scientists to tell if a river or stream is clean and healthy. If there are lots of stone flies, it's a good sign that the water is clean. So, it turns out that these tiny critters play a big role in our world by helping to maintain balance in nature and keep our waters clean.  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What do stone flies do to avoid becoming a meal?  \nA.
