This topic is about the Mayfly Genus Ephemerella

Ephemerella used to be a "super-genus" containing a myriad of extremely important species, many of which are now spread out among other genera in the Ephemerellidae family. These include the Large Blue-Winged Olives of the Drunella genus and important species like Attenella attenuata, Dannella simplex, and Serratella deficiens. Despite these reclassifications, the Ephemerella genus still contains some of the most important species in North America.

There is a lot of variation between the species; read about each one for the details. Read more...

There are 116 more specimens...

Posts: 2I was recently told by a close friend of mine that in the southertier of ny ( finger lakes region) that we have very good hatches of pmds. I was hoping that someone could confirm this or otherwise before I tye up patterns. I have seen what I believe are sulphurs with slightly the same body and wing coloration but again thought that these couldn't be the famed insect.
