mayfly - Maccaffertium

mayfly - Maccaffertium
Henryetta , Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, USA
April 3, 2012
While trying to get a shot of a longhorn beetle that came to my back door light I saw this shed skin of a mayfly. Later that evening as I was turning off the lights to go to bed I found a mayfly on the shade of a lamp in the kitchen.
I believe that they are one and the same.

Thanks for the ID.
I forgot to date the image, now it has a date..

Maccaffertium
Hi Charles-

I believe this mayfly male imago to be of genus Maccaffertium. However, as your shed subimago exoskeleton photo is not useful for identification, it has been frassed.
