I'm guessing this is an immature Peltoperla, because it lacks the well-developed setal fringe on the hind femora that would indicate Tallaperla, but it also lacks the dark spots that should indicate a mature Peltoperla nymph.

These tiny little aquatic mites show up in my samples from time to time. This fairly large one is only about 1mm long, so these aren't relevant to trout, but it's interesting to know that they're down there, anyway.
