Underwater photos by Troutnut from the Namekagon River in Wisconsin

There's a very well-camouflaged Baetisca laurentina mayfly nymph resting on the twig in the bottom left corner of this picture. Can you spot him? In this picture: Mayfly Species Baetisca laurentina (Armored Mayfly). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. In this picture: Mayfly Genus Ephemerella (Hendricksons, Sulphurs, PMDs). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. In this picture: Mayfly Species Ephemerella subvaria (Hendrickson). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. This is a pretty clear photo of an Epeorus nymph clinging flat against a log. The big mound of debris on the bottom center of the picture, attached to the light rock, is a structure that's been puzzling me. I've found several in one section of the river. It's big, like 2 inches long and maybe 1/2-3/4 inch wide/tall, and hollow, like some sort of coccoon or something. It's clearly a structure built by some sort of little creature, but I'm not sure what. In this picture: Mayfly Genus Epeorus (Little Maryatts). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. In this picture: Mayfly Genus Ephemerella (Hendricksons, Sulphurs, PMDs) and Insect Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. In this picture: Arthropod Order Decapoda (Crayfish). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. I'm not quite sure what this is. It may be an Isonychia nymph hiding under a piece of grass. In this picture: Arthropod Class Insecta (Insects). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin.
