Underwater photos by Troutnut from the Namekagon River in Wisconsin

In this picture: Mayfly Genus Ephemerella (Hendricksons, Sulphurs, PMDs). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. There's a very well-camouflaged Baetisca laurentina mayfly nymph resting on the twig in the bottom left corner of this picture. Can you spot him? In this picture: Mayfly Species Baetisca laurentina (Armored Mayfly). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. In this picture: Mayfly Species Ephemerella subvaria (Hendrickson). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. This is a pretty clear photo of an Epeorus nymph clinging flat against a log. The big mound of debris on the bottom center of the picture, attached to the light rock, is a structure that's been puzzling me. I've found several in one section of the river. It's big, like 2 inches long and maybe 1/2-3/4 inch wide/tall, and hollow, like some sort of coccoon or something. It's clearly a structure built by some sort of little creature, but I'm not sure what. In this picture: Mayfly Genus Epeorus (Little Maryatts). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. In this picture: Arthropod Order Decapoda (Crayfish). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. In this picture: Mayfly Genus Ephemerella (Hendricksons, Sulphurs, PMDs) and Insect Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin. I'm not quite sure what this is. It may be an Isonychia nymph hiding under a piece of grass. In this picture: Arthropod Class Insecta (Insects). From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin.
