Male
Ephemerella subvaria
(Hendrickson) Mayfly Dun
View 9 Pictures
I collected this male Hendrickson dun
and a female
in the pool on the Beaverkill where the popular Hendrickson pattern was first created. He is descended from mayfly royalty.

Male
Ephemera guttulata
(Green Drake) Mayfly Spinner
View 12 Pictures
This spinner was the only member of its species I saw all night during an incredibly thick and tricky mixed hatch on Penn's Creek a few days before the real start of its famous green drake hatch.

Male
Ephemerella aurivillii
Mayfly Spinner
View 15 Pictures
This spinner molted from a dun after being photographed, and the dun form is
listed here as a separate specimen
. I've rarely found a more cooperative and photogenic mayfly.

Penelomax septentrionalis
Mayfly Nymph
View 12 Pictures
This is surely the most distinctive-looking species in
Ephemerellidae
. I like the rugged, spindly look. If mayflies made movies,
Penelomax septentrionalis
would probably play the supervillain.
Maybe I should take a break and get something to eat.

I collected this beautiful male Hendrickson specimen as a dun, along with
a female Hendrickson
from the same hatch. Both molted into spinners in my house within a couple of days.
