The presence of anal gills, large dark spot in the center of the pale occipital bar point to lycorias.

I photographed this one recently dead. It's hard to keep caddis pupae alive for very long in a collection container.

I was surprised how bright green this pupa is. It's chartreuse. After collecting it, I experimented with melting down chartreuse jigs and making little translucent rubber caddis abdomens on my flies. They looked good, and the trout liked them, but they weren't very durable at all. This specimen is recently deceased in the photographs.

This is the only Heptageniid mayfly I saw hatch on May 24, 2004, and luckily it floated right by me. Edit: Gonzo confirmed most likely vicarium 06.21.12

This one's stunned or freshly dead in the pictures, because the water in my photographing tank was a bit too warm for him after being under the bright light for a while.

This one hatched on the same April Saturday that I saw the first Hendricksons of the season.

This one survived several days in an aquarium before being photographed. Leptophlebia cupida is known as a durable species. I'm trying to try a similar specimen (link to the next specimen) and see how that works.
