I remember these from my fist mass encounter back in 1962 or 3 when I was mowing a tall grass in the area of Grayling Michigan and the Au Sable River. These came up out of the grass in clouds and covered everything...I had no idea of what to do as they were filling the air in every direction....
A nice reminder of a strange time in my life. I frequented the area quite often. I canoed 3 and 4 day trips down the river, fishing for Rainbow Trout..fly fishing from the banks and nobody else around...it was quite the time...all this from you picture...wow..

Nice sharp image. However i would prefer a lower exposure to cut out the excess reflection from the abdomen.

Reciba un afectuso Saludo y un abrazo fraternal.

Ciao Ivan,
complimenti per questa bella foto.
Gli Ephemeroptera non sono facili da fotografare e non appaiono spesso su TN.
Tu sei riuscito a mostrarci questi insetti in tutta la loro bellezza con un'immagine superba.
Grazie,
Marcello

hello Ivan,
Very interesting posting, good picture and excellent informative note. I see thes" One-day" flies sometimes on my windows, living next to the river Aar. I also had seen left skins and was wondering what it was. I had all answers with your note. Un grand merci.

Hello Ivan,
I'd say that is an impressive looking fellow!
The long tails are amazing, and the insect is captured with super details...
I like the composition and the fresh green leaf as background, attractive lines in the frame!

Muy bonita Ivan, además no son muy comunes estos insectos en Tk, por lo que es interesante poder observar alguno. Desde luego este insecto tiene muchos elementos que hacen difícil su captura fotográfica. Buen trabajo.

Hello Ivan
Nowadays I have not enough time and so I cant visit your new posts. I'd like to write about this posts. Other new ones also great. But it tells more than a photograph.
Firstly I like very much this with great focus, coloration, composition.
One day, only one day very important as like its adult period. Average of human life around 30.000 days, but mayflies have only one or several days.
Thanks for sharing
I wish you and Ulla happy new years and merry christmas with your family.

Hi Ivan,
A not common but likeable composition, with main subject almost in a corner and without cuts in its tail. Details and focus excellents. A good job
I wish the best for you and Ulla in 2008
