20 Mayfly Specimens in the Family Isonychiidae:
Isonychia bicolor (Mahogany Dun) Mayfly Nymph
View 7 PicturesThis Isonychia bicolor nymph from the Catskills displays the prominent white stripe sometimes characteristic of its species. This is the first such specimen I've photographed, because members of the same species in the Upper Midwest have a more subdued stripe (and were once thought to be a different species, Isonychia sadleri). The striking coloration on this eastern nymph is more appealing.

Isonychia bicolor (Mahogany Dun) Mayfly Dun
View 6 PicturesThis is a naturally crippled female Isonychia bicolor dun. One of her main wings came out as a deformed, crumpled yellow object. I found her flopped over on her side struggling on the surface of a small stream.

Isonychia bicolor (Mahogany Dun) Mayfly Dun
View 6 PicturesI thought this dun was worth photographing, even though she's in pretty bad shape, because she shows something I haven't seen in Isonychia elsewhere. The bright stripe down the back which is normally present only in the nymph carried over to the dun in this one.
