Female Stenonema terminatum Mayfly Spinner Pictures

I was able to identify this female because I captured her while she was mating with an identifiable male.

This mayfly was collected from the West Branch of the Delaware River in New York on June 7th, 2007 and added to Troutnut.com by Troutnut on June 8th, 2007.
