Small Western Green Drakes

Scientific Names

Like most common names, "Small Western Green Drake" can refer to more than one taxon. For more detail click through to the scientific names.

Mayfly Species Drunella coloradensis

These are often called Small Western Green Drakes.
This uncommon species may reinforce the hatches of Drunella flavilinea where they occur together.

Mayfly Species Drunella flavilinea

These are often called Small Western Green Drakes.
The Flavs pick up about a week after the closely related but larger Western Green Drakes (Drunella grandis and Drunella doddsii) finish hatching on most Western waters.

Their hatches may be complemented by simultaneous hatches of two less prolific species, Drunella coloradensis and Drunella spinifera.

Mayfly Species Drunella spinifera

These are very rarely called Small Western Green Drakes.
This hatch may reinforce the Flavs, Drunella flavilinea, where they occur together.
