The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.
This specimen appears to be of the same species as this one collected in the same spot two months earlier. The identification of both is tentative. This one suffered some physical damage before being photographed, too, so the colors aren't totally natural. I was mostly photographing it to test out some new camera setting idea, which worked really well for a couple of closeups.
Medial cell: The medial cell (denoted mc) in many caddisfly wings is formed by the branching of the media into MA and MP and closed apically by the medial crossvein.
These other words reference the same concept: mc, cell mc, mc cell.
