Male Callibaetis pallidus (Speckled Dun) Mayfly Spinner Pictures

This specimen keys to Callibaetis pallidus using the key in Needham et al (1935) based on the wing venation: numerous crossveins in the forewing behind the fourth longitudinal vein, paired marginal intercalaries in the middle area of the fore wing, longitudinal veins largely light rather than black and white banded, and wing wholly pale.

This mayfly was collected from the Teal River in Wisconsin on June 10th, 2021 and added to Troutnut.com by Troutnut on June 11th, 2021.
