Leuctra variabilis is commonly referred to as the Variable Needlefly ( Stark et al. 2012), and is known from Maine south to North Carolina and Tennessee ( Grubbs 2015, DeWalt et al. 2024). Turner et al. (1996) reported this species from a bog in Maryland, with collection dates ranging from mid-November to mid-December. Hitchcock (1974) reported the emergence of this species from Connecticut streams ranged from August to late November. In New York, adults have been collected in mid-September (Fig. 13 View Figure 13 ) at elevations ranging from 509-677 m asl (Fig. 14 View Figure 14 ) from small streams and seeps in Level IV Ecoregion Central Adirondacks (58 ad) and Catskill High Peaks (58 y) (Fig. 16 f View Figure 16 f ).
