Nixe inconspicua Mayfly Dun
View 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.

Maccaffertium terminatum Mayfly Spinner
View 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.
