Posts: 4		 Greetings, I have a question for someone I found this one on my screen door last night and I have searched to try and come up with a name to put with it. I have tied flies for a few years but I've just duplicated patterns found in books or fly shops. I've never tried to identify the insects I have been tying, until now. By the way this mayfly is from Mid Missouri.

Posts: 657		My guess is an Epeorus spinner. It is somewhat difficult to tell because some of the essential keys are missing. :-)

(Keys - I mean like number of tails.)

Posts: 4		I believe there were 2 tails - right before my 3 year old needed to hold him...
