Bill, do you have any idea what the species is? Beautiful creatures.

Sorry, not a clue.
Maybe I'll have to try to hatch out some mature nymphs next spring. Do you know someone who would be willing to ID the adults to species?

Ameletus
I don't know anybody who would identify them. I do have some papers on them. I'll send the papers to your email.
