Ephemerella aurivillii Mayfly NymphEphemerella aurivillii Mayfly Nymph View 11 PicturesThis is a puzzling one to identify and I'm not sure about the species. The maxillary palp (

Also known as the < />palpus.) is present and segmented, and the maxillary canines are not strongly serrate laterally. I think it's Ephemerella, not Serratella. The ventral (Ventral: Toward or on the bottom.) lamellae of the gills on abdominal segment 6 have a clear median notch with a depth at least half the length of the lamellae, which points toward a couple of uncommon species (most likely Ephemerella alleni), but the abdominal tubercles (
A few (not all) of the abdominal tubercles on this Ephemerella needhami nymph are circled. They are especially large in this species.

Their character is important for the identification of many kinds of insects, such as the nymphs of Ephemerellidae mayflies.) and coloration don't fit that species. To add to the confusion, none of the above species are expected to emerge in the fall, as far as I know. I'm going to call this one Ephemerella aurivillii for now, but that's highly uncertain.
