| Posts: 23 | This one is very common into my city and could be the adult of the nymph showed in the last thread. It's a big one, about 20 mm. wingspan. Two cerci, very big eyes and very conspicuous dark venation. Could be Ecdyonurus cf. venosus? This one is about to becomes a ctrab spider lunch.   Zaragoza, NE Spain. Many thanks, Isidro | |

| Posts: 23 | Wow!!! Many thanks Taxon!! You have identified it at species level! I had doubts because there are more similar species in genus. Yes, the body length, as you said, I thinks is about 15 mm. (without cerci). Then, I think that the nymph in the last post is from this species, due to any other Ecdyonurus is seen into my city and this one is very common. | |
