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.

Hey guys!
Great site. I've really enjoyed checking it out this morning.
I'm excited because this Saturday is my first real fishing trip of this year. I also just purchased a new digital camera so I'm excited about getting some good shots.
hi, New Guy! welcome to the best writing and photography on the 'net. where do you fish in Arizona? do you catch any of those tiny exotic endangered rare trout?
