| Kansas city Posts: 12 | Well this guy about blew my mind. No idea mayflies were in man made lakes. This bug was about 3/4 inch body length. Found yesterday, James Reed Park, cloudy, windy, 48 degrees. I have enhanced the green of the eyeballs a bit in Photoshop so they stand out, but could definitely see the color au natural. Any help appreciated | |

Site Editor Plano, TXPosts: 1314 | The clues to it being a female were the absence of male claspers sticking out beyond the abdomen, in combination with the smaller compound eyes characteristic of a female. | |
