Pictures of 22 Mayfly Specimens in the Family Siphlonuridae:
Siphlonurus quebecensis (Gray Drake) Mayfly Nymph
View 5 PicturesI photographed this nymph in the middle of molting between one instar (Instar: Many invertebrates molt through dozens of progressively larger and better-developed stages as they grow. Each of these stages is known as an instar. Hard-bodied nymphs typically molt through more instars than soft-bodied larvae.) and the next (not hatching). Siphlonurus phyllis (Gray Drake) Mayfly Nymph
