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.
This wild-looking little thing completely puzzled me. At first I was thinking beetle or month larva, until I got a look at the pictures on the computer screen. I made a couple of incorrect guesses before entomologist Greg Courtney pointed me in the right direction with Psychodidae. He suggested a possible genus of Thornburghiella, but could not rule out some other members of the tribe Pericomini.

My old man turned 80 so off to Iowa we went. I forgot how beautiful it is there in the fall. Here in the west fall is short and you have to time it just right to see leaves. In the mid-west it is an actual season that one can enjoy over a longer period of time. I miss it there.
