Maccaffertium terminatum Mayfly SpinnerMaccaffertium terminatum  Mayfly SpinnerView 11 PicturesI positively identified this specimen under a microscope with a good key. It was one of the more common species in a generally light mixed bag of mayflies over a big Catskill tailwater last night.

I swooped this one out of the air while it was mating with a female, so I can be certain about her ID as well.

Nixe inconspicua Mayfly DunNixe inconspicua  Mayfly DunView 13 PicturesThis pretty little dun was part of a sparse midsummer evening hatch on a large Catskill river.

I could not identify it by following a species key step by step, but I tentatively keyed it to the genus Nixe, and based on distribution maps and physical descriptions the most likely species is Nixe inconspicua.
