An ant struggles to escape the surface of a Catskill stream. The black dot on the right is the ant's shadow on a rock on the bottom. I can see how this would appeal to a trout. Even I kind of want to eat the thing.

I saw something strange flying around near the streambank, fluttering on and off the water's surface, so I went to check it out. I didn't recognize the wing profile in flight, and it's no surprise! These two caddisflies were joined mating, and they were very reluctant to let go.

Here's the bottom of a freshly emerged male Drunella lata dun, showing a lighter shade of olive than the specimens I photographed with my better camera in the evening.

I photographed the underside of this March Brown dun right after it emerged so that I would have the exact color for an imitation.

I didn't manage to collect a nymph, but here's the hollow shuck (
Shuck: The shed exoskeleton left over when an insect molts into its next stage or instar. Most often it describes the last nymphal or pupal skin exited during emergence into a winged adult.) left over from an emerged dun, showing the basic pattern of the nymph.
In this picture: Mayfly Species Ephemera guttulata (Green Drake).

This dragonfly got stuck in its shuck (Shuck: The shed exoskeleton left over when an insect molts into its next stage or instar. Most often it describes the last nymphal or pupal skin exited during emergence into a winged adult.) trying to emerge, so it was just crawling around on this rock.
