Ah, good.
Thanks!

I always, always try to take photos of every mayfly I encounter (or of a few good specimens if there are a bunch of them in one area.)
So this is in fact the 2nd mayfly I've ever encountered since getting my little digital camera.
I have them all listed by number to help keep them in order. :D

So knowing what this is gives more importance to these photos. :)
