Somerset, PA Posts: 4 | Hi folks. I found this nymph in the Keystone Select section of Laurel Hill Creek, Somerset county PA. It's really small(20-24, maybe smaller). Sorry to be so vague. If anyone has an idea what it might be, I'd love to know. Thanks! | |

Healdsburg, CA Posts: 356 | The more I look at it the more it looks like it might be an early instar of Baetis tricaudatus. Google it and see what you think. | |

Site Editor IndianaPosts: 505 | If the tails are banded, rather than a solid color, then this probably is either Baetis flavistriga or something close. The markings on the abdominal terga also remind me much more of flavistriga than tricaudatus. | |
