[VFB] Mayfly shedding???
Folks: I have tried and tried to take a photo of it, but remember a cpl weeks back and that beautiful Hex mayfly landed on my lampshade Well, today, my wife was cleaning house and found his shed exoskeleton stuck to the lampshade. It was just like when a snake sheds it's skin. I didn't think these flies had a long enough lifespan to shed like that?? My wife seems to thing that the reason he was such a vivid color of yellow/gold is that he had JUST shed his skin. What say ya'll?? Thanks, Chuck I'll continue to try and take a photo, but I can't seem to get the lighting/focus just right to show it for how it really looks in person. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Hopper swap info
Jerry: Thanks. Please keep his wife and family in your thoughts and prayers (that goes for everybody if possible) as she is taking it REAL hard as to be expected as Carlis was the ONLY man she'd ever been with, and they were married when she was only 18 when they got married, and he had just turned 19. They were married for 44 years. Also, Jane had her first chemo treatment for her colon cancer today and the doc gave her a double dose of the anti nausea meds, to help her not be so sick for Carlis' funeral etc. Just pray that those meds (and the chemo) work, cause the only reason Jane went through with it today is because she says I want to be here for the grand kids for as long as possible if Carlis can't be here. His viewing is tomorrow from 5-7pm, and funeral is Wed. at 2pm. Thanks a LOT.One good think is that both her and Carlis come from HUGE families that knew each other all their lives and they are ALL here with Jane.

Re: [VFB] Mayfly shedding???
Chuck, Once they molt, they return to the water they came from. I have heard some scientists say that they return within hundreds of feet of the water they came from with great accuracy. What you saw alive in your lampshade was a Dun, or basically a young adult mayfly that probably emerged from a nearby body of water within the previous 12-24 hours. They are drawn to lights at night time. Gas station stall lights near streams/rivers/lakes are often clogged with mayflies, caddis and stoneflies you just have to look up. This is probably how yours came to rest in your lampshade. It was drawn to the light. They hang out for a few hours or maybe a day. They shed their Dun shuck and wait for the temperature/humidity or whatever conditions are right to return to the stream. At this stage they are now a spinner and the only thing they have left to do is mate and die within the next few minutes or hours. What you saw was very likely its already muted colors. The hexes I have seen don't necessarily get brighter, but the belly gets brown.
