No its not a contest. I really dont know what it is. I've never seen a translucent body like this before.
Taxon, alittle help.

That I would believe to be a Mahogany Dun? (Isonychia bicolor)

would you bet your tickets on it?

[Lonnie]

It's a Trico. Size 20-24?

[Doug S.]

hamsmayfly ?

[UtahFlyGuy]

That was my thought too but I thought trico's had a dark body. FWIW it was about a size 20.

[UtahFlyGuy]

hamsmayfly ?

Well at least you know where the pic was taking. lol

Way too small for that one.

[jim m.]

A picture and description of this bug is in Hatches II (which is not in front of me at the moment). So the answer lies there.

Sounds nuts but I think its actually a baestis spinner of some type or another.
What the very small baetis? Psuedocleon?

I have seen these on the middle provo.

[Lonnie]

My other guess would be a Caenis

[Utah DaveII]

That is my guess.

[«°Ñøvã°»]

Im seeing two tails couldnt tell what size it was. The Tricos have three set of tails and are much bulkier not sure if thats it either. Im leaning toward Jims answer now. Id bet your toon on it

[«°Ñøvã°»]

Just tie on a sowbug works for me

[Doug S.]

Well at least you know where the pic was taking. lol

Whatever. NOBODY is EVER catching ME!!! :)

Only 4500 more posts to go guys!!!

[jim m.]

Baetis Tricaudatus is what I was trying to think of. Not Psuedocleon.

sorry.

[brownstalker]

Lonnie, the question is "do you have the same trainer as Bonds"?

[Taxon]

Taxon, alittle help.

UtahFlyGuy-

Your photo appears to be of a Diphetor hageni male imago. Jim M. is correct with regard to there being a photo of one in Hatches II. The photo appears on Color Plate XXI, and is labeled "Baetis divinctus, male spinner", which is both misspelled and improperly italicized, as its prior scientific name was Baetis devinctus.

Male Maccaffertium terminatum Mayfly Spinner

Dave-

With regard to the male Maccaffertium terminatum spinner from Jason's site, the abdomen is certainly similar, but if you look closely at the copy of your photo which I've enlarged (http://www.flyfishingentomology.com/hamsmayflyBlownUp.jpg), you will see the eyes on your photo are turbinate, which male Baetids exhibit, and are quite different from those of male Heptageniids.

Looks like baetis to me.

Oh, looks like Taxon confirmed this.

Jason-

Well, sort of. Baetids refer to all members of family Baetidae, not just to members of genus Baetis. Dave's mayfly is a member of a different genus of family Baetidae, Diphetor, specifically D. hageni, which was once thought to be a member of genus Baetis, but is no longer. Conversely, Maccaffertium is a member of family Heptageniidae.

Boy, I bet that explanation really clears away the mud!
