I saw it.  Excellent piece about the huge mayflies in Europe.  (And other 
subjects, as well.)

If anyone gets a chance to see the Discovery Channel program about the 
Underground World (or something to that effect), don't miss it.  Besides the 
incredible macro video of tiny animals doing incredible things, there is a 
video sequence of a mayfly hatch, start to finish.  There is remarkable footage 
of the hatching, 1st molt, 2nd molt, male hatch, female hatch, mating swarm 
(and clusters), fallen spinners, and a female cloud of mayflies headed up river 
to lay their eggs.  The video action of trout leaping clear of the water to 
grab a mayfly in flight is awesome.  I think David Attenborough (sp?) is the 
narrator.
