Diphetor hageni
Hi Kyle-

I am unable to see any characters (in your image of this male imago) which would rule out it being Diphetor hageni. As such, I am placing it there in the Guide.

However, I suspect its body length (if measured) would have been more like 4 mm.

 
I will change the sex to bein
I will change the sex to being an adult.

 
Frass
I am frassing both images because BugGuide allows only a single bug in each image.

Moved to Ephemeroptera for expert attention
Moved from ID Request.

Roger, our mayfly expert, will take the ID further.
