Salmonflies
Pteronarcys californica
The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.

Some characteristics from the microscope images for the tentative species id: The postero-lateral projections are found only on segment 9, not segment 8. Based on the key in Jacobus et al. (2014), it appears to key to Neoleptophlebia adoptiva or Neoleptophlebia heteronea, same as this specimen with pretty different abdominal markings. However, distinguishing between those calls for comparing the lengths of the second and third segment of the labial palp, and this one (like the other one) only seems to have two segments. So I'm stuck on them both. It's likely that the fact that they're immature nymphs stymies identification in some important way.

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."

I'm not buying into this bogus post.

Likewise. I hit the "ban" button. If this person is for real, he/she should have been more honest about the details, because this story doesn't add up. I don't want anyone taking a chance on getting scammed by someone who's obviously not going to contribute much to the forum, whether sincere or not.
