Underwater photos by Troutnut from the East Branch of the Delaware River and Mongaup Creek in New York

A Brachycentrus "Apple Caddis" pupa scoots around in the surface film. Apparently it had some difficulty emerging, so I was able to slip my camera underneath it and take a picture from below. In this picture: Caddisfly Species Brachycentrus appalachia (Apple Caddis). From the East Branch of the Delaware River in New York. I love this "above & below" landscape from a popular Catskill trout stream. The picture is not doctored to show both perspectives. Instead, my Pentax Optio WPi digital camera is able to take pictures with the tiny lens half-in, half-out of the water. From the East Branch of the Delaware River in New York. Several Baetidae nymphs line up on a rock. In this picture: Mayfly Family Baetidae (Blue-Winged Olives). From Mongaup Creek in New York. This is a close-up underwater view of a stillborn Ephemerella subvaria (Henrickson) female dun. In this picture: Mayfly Species Ephemerella subvaria (Hendrickson). From the East Branch of the Delaware River in New York. This picture from below shows a stillborn Ephemerella subvaria (Hendrickson) dun drifting on the surface amidst a number of shed pupal skins from Brachycentrus caddisflies which were heavily hatching that day. In this picture: Caddisfly Species Brachycentrus appalachia (Apple Caddis) and Mayfly Species Ephemerella subvaria (Hendrickson). From the East Branch of the Delaware River in New York. This Brachycentrus "Apple Caddis" struggled more than its kin in escaping its pupal skin, enabling me to take an underwater picture of it from directly below. This is sort of a trout's eye view, but I used the flash for the picture so the transparent shuck appears far brighter than it really is. In this picture: Caddisfly Species Brachycentrus appalachia (Apple Caddis). From the East Branch of the Delaware River in New York. In this picture: Mayfly Genus Epeorus (Little Maryatts), Insect Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies), and Mayfly Family Baetidae (Blue-Winged Olives). From Mongaup Creek in New York. In this picture: Mayfly Genus Epeorus (Little Maryatts) and Mayfly Family Baetidae (Blue-Winged Olives). From Mongaup Creek in New York.

Stillborn: In fly fishing, a stillborn insect is one which got stuck in its nymphal or pupal shuck during emergence and floats helplessly on the surface instead of flying away. It is a specific class of cripple, although it is sometimes used interchangeably with that term.) Ephemerella subvaria dun which I also photographed from below the water.
