Experiments were conducted in two Rocky Mountain streams (Gunnison County, Colorado) to determine the context within which predatory stonefly larvae locally depress their prey populations. In feeding trials where no migration of prey (Baetis bicaudatus, Ephemeroptera) was allowed from flow-through boxes containing natural substrates, Megarcys signata and Kogotus modestus (Perlodidae) significantly depressed prey densities over 14 and 38 h, respectively. However, increasing predator density had no apparent effect on per capita predation rate. In 1984 enclosure experiments allowing prey but not predator migration, Kogotus significantly reduced total prey density and that of two relatively sedentary prey species (Cinygmula mimus, Ephemeroptera, Heptageniidae, and Zapada haysi, Plecoptera, Nemouridae) during three-day trials
