Male small mayfly, Baetinae, Baetidae

Male small mayflies in the family Baetidae differ from females in that they have seven eyes rather than five - 3 simple eyes, 2 compound eyes,and 2 turbinate eyes on top of the head. These upward-facing eyes are thought to be used for spotting females during aerial mating.

I had an unexpected visitor the other morning! this is Hexagenia bilineata, a giant mayfly. a strange and ancient river fairy perhaps

I don’t live too close to a suitable body of water, but it seems they can be lured far away from their breeding aggregations by artificial lights. they live for just a few hours as adults, emerging at dusk to mate and die before morning, which meant that getting lost and finding me was the last thing this poor lady ever did.

I’ve kept her and will pin her to preserve this chance encounter. if I ever meet one again I hope it’ll be closer to a river where they belong

Large orange mayfly spotted.

Sadly it's difficult to identify these (not enough info online for me).

Little mayfly that sat on me for a while. What a nice guy! I’ve probably seen mayflies before but I didn’t know what they were, this was the first time I was really aware of em’, let me tell you I went DGDVDVDCmayflyFBDJSVD

A precious little mayfly! Don't ask me which species though, IDing mayflies isn't one of my strong suits.

Did river invert sampling today! It was very cool, also got to see some very nice inverts other than the river ones, and maybe some planarians that aren't pictured here since I couldn't get them off the rock I saw them on
