Ephemeroptera - Ephemera simulans

Ephemeroptera - Ephemera simulans
Woodside Township, Otter Tail County, Minnesota, USA
June 8, 2016
There must have been a large hatch of these about this time, as there were a lot of them hanging on the grass and other foliage near the Wing River that morning. I am not 100% certain that these images are all of the same individual, but at least they were all within close proximity of one another and all photographed within a couple of minutes of each other, and they appear the same to me.

Ephemera simulans
Hi David-

I believe this male subimago to be Ephemera simulans. Am forced to frass the other images due to uncertainty regarding whether they are of the same individual.
