Ephemerella subvaria (Hendrickson) Mayfly Nymph Pictures



 Here's another nymph with the strange brownish coloring rather than the olive I usually see for subvaria. I suspect it's the same species and it's just wide individual variation.

This mayfly was collected from unknown on February 7th, 2004 and added to Troutnut.com on January 25th, 2006.

are the male and female E.subvaria nymphs identicle, or like the duns, different?
