mayfly - Baetis - Male
long beach, Los Angeles County, California, USA

Became very familiar with these today when I accidentally walked through a swarm. I think it might be the same as this one I encountered last year?

It does look similar.
But the real reason I commented was to ask you about the size you put in. Did you mean 8mm?

Thanks for spotting that, I'm not sure how that slipped out; it is fixed now, yes I did mean mm.
