Ephemerella subvaria (Hendrickson) Mayfly Nymph Pictures



 Here are the 4 main color variations I've found that I'm considering to be E. subvaria.

This mayfly was collected from unknown on February 7th, 2004 and added to Troutnut.com on January 25th, 2006.

This is what these four nymphs looked like most of the time. Ephemerellidae nymphs like to cling to stuff, and when there's nothing else around, they cling to each other. It's a real pain in the neck to keep them separated long enough to actually take a picture. Ephemerella subvaria (Hendrickson) Mayfly Nymph from unknown in Wisconsin
