A closer look at another individual
Worth full size peep.
I've been without internet for a while, as an electrical storm blew the router.
I will catch up eventually!

Gorgeous shot..another for that book you should be making.
this is a specia ( in my country rare and protected); it differs from most mayflies because of the 3 long tail-threads; it is the ephemera danica
Wow, Thankyou for that ID, Juliette! Great information too!
Superb macro Andrea :)
Fantastic details and colours. Very interesting, I'm not sure if I have seen such a fly before.
Great capture. I love the details in the wings!
very impressive! Be happy and thankful that it was just your router. You could have lost everything.
Super sharp! I love the highlights on the wings. Yes, absolutely, when IS your book coming out? It wouldn't take much. Just copy the images and text from your gallery.
Fantastic image!!
What an interesting creature - such long antennae...
Do they bite?
beautiful
Amazing macro photo Andrea ! I've never seen a Mayfly in our neck of the woods. Happy to see you have internet once again.
Nature is wonderful.
Great close-up, lots of detail!!
Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.
What clever work, Andrea! I just love this, as I've never seen such one here.
lol, Mark, on putting all these into a book. (You could make several books out of your gallery.) And apparently, accdg to Juliette, this 'isn't' a mayfly? Or a variation of it? Well, I'm a neanderthal with these id's, so I'll accept whatever you experts tell me. Whatever it is, the closeup reveals the stained-glass-like intensity of these amazing creatures, and the many segments of its body, and just how substantial its appendages are---I don't even know what that 'tail' is called. It has such a spectacular reach, and yet it's all compacted. And such bright white sections in its bamboo-like torso. Beautiful closeup, Andrea.
