Many females of this species were gathered in tight clouds to lay their eggs over the riffles in a mid-sized Pocono stream right at dusk. It would have been a fishable spinner fall if I'd stuck around to wait for them.
This mayfly was collected from the Poconos on May 28th, 2007 and added to Troutnut.com on June 4th, 2007.

"Hunter orange" ball of eggs. The debris sticking to it comes from my container and handling; it's not part of the structure.
