19 Mayfly Specimens in the Genus Leptophlebia:
Leptophlebia (Black Quills) Mayfly Dun
View 7 PicturesI collected this mayfly after user Al514 tipped me off to the presence of some Leptophlebia mayflies I didn't seem to have yet with his ID request of a male dun. This seems to be of the same species. I also collected a female spinner. Based on that spinner, I can tell that this is either Leptophlebia cupida or Leptophlebia nebulosa, but I can't tell which.
Unfortunately none of the specimens I collected made it through the hot, sunny day very well. So the pictures aren't great, but they're better than nothing.

Leptophlebia cupida (Black Quill) Mayfly Nymph
View 4 PicturesThis one survived several days in an aquarium before being photographed. Leptophlebia cupida is known as a durable species.
I'm trying to try a similar specimen link to the next specimen and see how that works.

Leptophlebia (Black Quills) Mayfly Spinner
View 6 PicturesI collected this specimen along with a female dun of the same species. Unfortunately it's not in very good shape.
After poking at it for a while under a microscope with a good scientific key in hand, I'm pretty sure this is either Leptophlebia cupida or Leptophlebia nebulosa. I can't tell which.
