Posts: 17This one looks like an almost ready to emerge male Baetis sp., but I can't be 100% based on the pictures and I definitely can't go any further than that.

As a side note, if anyone is interested in a good key to the larvae of Baetidae, search google for "EPA photographic Baetidae key" and click on the PDF at the EPA site (direct link to the PDF here). The key has some good photos and works very well for the eastern U.S.

Posts: 2704		Excellent link Earl! I'll be using that one a lot.

Following it through for this specimen leads me to Baetis too.

Does anyone have the Baetis species key the PDF mentions as the most recent (Weirsema et al 2004)? Is it worth a trip to the library?
