I was unprepared for the molting of this mayfly. It didn't survive long in this state.

Litobrancha recurvata
I am a consulting forester in WV. I am doing a report for a large timber management company in WV, VA, and KY. They have contracted me to do a report of how their forest management operations affect rare, T&E species within their ownership. I am needing a picture of Litobrancha recurvata to use in the report for identification purposes during their operations. Could I use the image of this species from BugGuide.net?

Thanks,

Doug Alderman

photo usage
I would be fine with you using this photo for your report. I'm curious, is the timber management company interested in protecting these rare species on their lands?
Could you send me the section of the report that involves Litobrancha, once it's finished? Thanks!

Timber Management Company interest
Yes, the timber management company is interested in protecting all rare, T&E species on their lands. The previous owner sold 1700+ acres of timber rights to the state to protect several species and the current owner is also increasing their riparian buffers and setting aside mature forest habitat throughout their ownership in sensitive areas for protection of endangered species or ecosystems. Their current management practices also meet, and exceed in several circumstances, the current best management practices set aside by the Department of Environmental protection.

As far as a copy of the report for this species, I will have to check with the manager of the ownership. The report belongs to them since they have hired me to do it. I will let you know as soon as I hear back from them.

Thanks for the usage of the picture. It will be included for reference in the Appendix of the report. To my knowledge it will also be included in an in house RTE identification handout which is given to each of the foresters so they can show a picture to the loggers before each harvest operation begins where the species might be threatened by harvest operations.

If you have any other concerns, please let me know. I will check on the sight for any other concerns. I will also let you know about the species report.

Thanks again for the usage.

Doug
