Maccaffertium vicarium (March Brown) Mayfly DunMaccaffertium vicarium (March Brown) Mayfly DunView 10 PicturesI collected this mayfly on the same trip as a female of the same species. After these photos it molted into a spinner. This is the form of Maccaffertium vicarium which anglers call the "Gray Fox."

Tricorythodes (Tricos) Mayfly SpinnerTricorythodes (Tricos) Mayfly SpinnerView 9 PicturesI photographed this Trico alive, although it didn't have much time left. These things die very quickly after they mate and it's hard to rush them back to the studio.

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.
