Here's a goofy picture of a Caenis dun falling off the back of a leaf, never to be seen again.  These mayflies are very tiny and fragile, and very hard to capture and photograph without damaging. This little dun hatched from the nymph in a tub of nymphs while I was picking through for aquatic specimens to photograph... I grabbed the leaf it hatched onto and tried to take some pictures but it got away after about half a picture.
