I had to really search for a while to find a sliver of opening water at this sampling site far in the headwaters of a mighty warmwater river. From the Far Upper West Fork of the Chippewa River in Wisconsin.

Often mayflies can be found on houses near the river. This one molted from a dun into a spinner on the outside of our kitchen window. Any lit dwelling near the river can attract a lot of mayflies at night. A good way to determine what's hatching is to visit a gas station (or anything else with bright lights) close to the river early in the morning. From the West Fork of the Chippewa River in Wisconsin.

Female Ephemerellidae (Hendricksons, Sulphurs, PMDs, BWOs) Mayfly SpinnerFemale Ephemerellidae (Hendricksons, Sulphurs, PMDs, BWOs) Mayfly Spinner View 7 PicturesThis Ephemerellidae spinner was emerging unusually late, and on a warm stream. Since it's a female, identification is difficult. Her identical coloration suggests she's probably of the same species as this specimen collected on a cool trout stream almost a month earlier.
