Mayfly - Maccaffertium

Mayfly - Maccaffertium
Pittsboro, Chatham County, North Carolina, USA
May 13, 2014
Size: Over an inch
I have gotten as far as "mayfly" but there my skills break down. Attracted to porchlight. There is no running water nearby, but there is a small frog pond in the backyard that has a great many tadpoles and fishflies coming out of it.

Maccaffertium
Hi Ursula-

I believe this female imago to be of genus Maccaffertium. It would have come from running water, not from the frog pond.
