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.

Hi all,
I've made a few posts here and have lurked for information but never gave my formal introduction.
I'm in CT, fishing for over 30 years. This has been a great site for information.I love the pics and videos and I'm trying to improve my photo/video skills as well.
