Mayfly April 14, 2012 @ 11:43pm
This is a captive mayfly I raised from a nymph. I raised several and all of them flew away before I could get a picture except for this one. This one was still drying its wings on the end of a stick that I had provided as a way for them to climb out of the water. The background behind the mayfly was cluttered so I placed a dandelion behind the mayfly for some color and contrast.

Beautiful! I'm glad the critter obliged.

First Rick T raised some spiders - and now you raised some mayflies!!!

Who's next??? Grin

Great detail Scott. Sad that these things live such short lives,

Great pose and detail, Scott, and your improvised background was an inspired stroke.
