Isonychia rufa
Hi Mike-

I believe this male imago to be Isonychia rufa.

Thanks!
I cannot find much information on this species online. Thanks for at least pointing me in the right direction.

Question
Just curious, now that it was moved it doesnt show up in the photos when I click on the Mayflies(Ephemeroptera)link. Where is it located at when moved like this?
Not questioning if you did the right thing, just not familiar with the system enough to know what is happening. Thanks!

Where are you clicking?
If you click the Ephemeroptera link above your photo, you'll be taken to the Info Page for that order. Then, if you click the Images tab, you'll see your pic resting at the order level. This is where our resident mayfly expert, Roger Rohrbeck, will find and ID your specimen.

Thanks!
Ok, my fault. I was looking at the (random?) pictures that come up when I clicked the Ephemeroptera link.
