Eurylophella (Chocolate Duns) Mayfly NymphEurylophella (Chocolate Duns) Mayfly NymphView 5 PicturesThis nymph is an extremely early instar (Instar: Many invertebrates molt through dozens of progressively larger and better-developed stages as they grow. Each of these stages is known as an instar. Hard-bodied nymphs typically molt through more instars than soft-bodied larvae.).
