This specimen began with wings, but they were lost during handling. The reddish abdomen was semi-translucent and almost seemed to glow in the sunlight, and big brown trout were going crazy for them.

This insect was collected from Mystery Creek #227 on August 22nd, 2018 and added to Troutnut.com on June 13th, 2019.
