Hexagenia
Hi Alain,

This is a female Hexagenia, probably H. limbata. It appears to be an imago because the markings, particularly on the wings, are crisp and clear. (They would be muted or cloudy if it were a subimago.)

Best,
Lloyd

Missing Taxa
Hi Alain-

Sorry, but without a whole insect lateral view, I won't be able to identify this winged mayfly.
