Posts: 2604		Mentioning Spring on JA 16? I love your optimism, Eric.:)

Looks like Baetis tricaudatus (prev. B. vagans) to me.

Bruce - I like to call them Olive Quills, but they go by a lot of names, including the omnipresent or should I say gratingly pervasive BWO.:)

Posts: 2604		LOL:) I thought you were referring to a large sized baetid that hatches in the Spring! There's just not enough PA in me...:)

Posts: 3233		Eric, how big was the nymph, and how close to hatching would you say? The wing pads aren't dark, but I don't know enough to tell how well developed the wings might be.

5 mm. I don't know about how long until emergence, Like you observed, the wing pads are still relatively light. But they are well developed.

No im not sure of about 90% of the things I say. I never said it was going to hatch this spring. it was collected from Big Spring Creek. :)

Just a few? ;)

She's going to have a hard time hatching in spring Eric if you didn't put her back. :) The cousins will be ready, when the time is right...I promise.

I love your optimism, Eric.:)


Kurt...Everything about that bug is optimistic to us Midwesterners...They are like candy to winter starved salmonids. The river gods use them to reintroduce the trout to the surface...Almost brings tears to my eyes!

Nice pics there Eric!

"She's"? So Spence, was that determination a result of your keen interest in genitalia?

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."
