Field Notes

Description:

Distinctive up and down flying pattern. Seemed to have been a mass emergence as there were hundreds of them next to large body of water. I imagine this is some kind of Mayfly but know very little about their identification.

That's a real beauty. I agree with Ashley, definitely a Mayfly.

Definitely a Mayfly of some sort. Nice wing patterns.
