Here's another photo of the hatch --

There was a mayfly hatch one evening earlier in July where I live but I only had about 60 of them show up on the mothing sheets. Not much else showed up on that night.

Incredible!
Never seen anything quite like this. The 'day after' pics are also pretty cool for a Californian like me who has never seen a mayfly emergence of that magnitude. Thanks for sharing.
