Baetis
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.

These are beautiful as adults. Wherever you get these, you should go back when they are emerging. Alternatively, keep them in your aquarium until they emerge. They're easy enough to keep...except when you have Aeshna with them...

This sounds like a great idea. I hope to set up an aquarium in the future to watch some bugs emerge.
