Baetis

Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Definition of 'radial crossvein' in Caddisflies

Radial crossvein: The radial crossvein (denoted r, or sometimes r-rs) connects the main branch of the radius R1 to the radial sector Rs near the discoidal cell in some caddisflies.

These other words reference the same concept: crossvein r, crossvein r-rs, r crossvein, r-rs crossvein.
This Hydatophylax argus caddisfly does not have a radial crossvein, but I drew in purple where it would be if it were present.
