Have you invented a new hot drink derived from mayflies, perhaps?

If Konchu has concocted such a beverage, I hope he'll keep the recipe a secret. I imagine the instructions begin with "Select a large female Ephemera or Hexagenia imago, place her on the surface of a mug of hot water, and cut off her head...." ;) (A bit of an inside joke for a bit of an inside thread.)

Posts: 1681		Hmmm...well, if we're counting accidental concoctions, I'll admit to partaking of a canned soda/bee combination on more than one occasion. (Your wife's "dun dunking" was accidental, wasn't it?) And my wife once drank a moth with her Pepsi. But I don't think that counts because the moth escaped and flew away when she gagged at the strange sensation of something fluttering behind her teeth.

For the truly diehard bug-eaters out there, Rick Hafele reports that lightly sauteed damselfly nymphs are tasty. And my cousin (a former Army Ranger) used to delight in eating bugs on a bet. :)

Troutnut, how long does your tricaudatus hatch last?

Is it continuous for most of the season, or are there distinct phases to it?

Posts: 2737		I don't know. To be honest, these are the first specimens I've caught which I could be reasonably certain belonged to tricaudatus. Most of the Baetids I photographed later in the season turned out to belong to other genera.

That doesn't mean there aren't multiple important tricaudatus broods around here -- I just haven't been in any one place long enough yet to track the local hatches in any detail.

Posts: 505		Thanks for your honesty, troutnut.

Does anyone from western North America have perspective on their local tricaudatus hatches?
