Ephemera varia (Yellow Drake) Mayfly SpinnerEphemera varia (Yellow Drake) Mayfly SpinnerView 6 PicturesI found this female spinner ovipositing in a small stream. She came along while I was playing a trout -- every good bug seemed to do that last night! I didn't have my bug net, so I caught the trout in my landing net, released the trout, and caught the mayfly in my landing net. Her wing got a bit messed up from that.

Ephemera varia (Yellow Drake) Mayfly DunEphemera varia (Yellow Drake) Mayfly DunView 7 PicturesThis yellow drake dun hatched out of my aquarium over a month before her brethren in the wild are slated to emerge. She seems a bit small, and that might be the reason.
