Comment by Mark Melton:
Roger - I think you may have misidentified photo 1269744 and associated pictures. You have it identified as an Ameletus but I think it's Callibaetis. Check out the antennae length and the tails. Ameletus has much shorter antennae and the tails would have long setae along the length. Also the nymph is listed as being found in "a small, freshwater pond with lots of cattails". Ideal for Callibaetis, not so much for Ameletus. Mark
