This Ephemerella invaria sulphur dun got stuck in its shuck (
Shuck: The shed exoskeleton left over when an insect molts into its next stage or instar. Most often it describes the last nymphal or pupal skin exited during emergence into a winged adult.) trying to emerge. This isn't exactly a "natural" pose for a photograph, but it kind of shows what an emerger pattern could look like.
In this picture: Mayfly Species Ephemerella invaria (Sulphur).

It is a specific class of cripple, although it is sometimes used interchangeably with that term.) Ephemerella subvaria dun which I also photographed from below the water.
