Hey, Chuck:  That's a mayfly.  I'm not sure what kind.  How big was it?  It seems a bit large for a Sulfur.  Maybe it's what my Canadian friends call an Orange Cahill.  I'm sure somebody on the list will know what it is. Jerry Caruso All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.

I had replied to Chuck off-list about his mayfly. With its size, it's most very closely related to the Hexagenia Limbata or Michigan Hex. In this case, it would obviously be an Alabama Hex. a. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group. To post to this
