As it was already dusk and dim light I needed my friend and a LED torch to get this set up wellVery nice shot, Maximilian.
It was sitting on the table at my porch. I didn't even have to bend down that muchI really like the fact that the picture was taken very close to the surface.
When I went to my kitchen today I just found another male mayfly sitting close to this exuvia.Here we have a male mayfly.
I suppose an ephemera danica.
I wouldn't even have noticed your kitchen window. Very nice picts!When I went to my kitchen today I just found another male mayfly sitting close to this exuvia.
It flew away as I approached it, trying to get both, insect and exuvia on one pic.
I don't know if that was a nymph or a subimago. If it was a nymph I would be totally puzzled as the next small pond is more than 20 m away in my neighbours garden. Much more choices to moult between that and my kitchen window.
And please be tolerant about the cleanliness of my kitchen window.
We have a lot of pine pollen in the air right now. (damned sharp marco lens )
