Thanks for the ID confirmation, luteum! I really appreciate it!
This is without much question Maccaffertium vicarium.
crazy!
Definitely crazy eyes. This is the only time I've seen a mayfly like this. If the bladdernut hadn't been in bloom, I'd have missed it.
Wow! Look at those eyes!
It sure does. And as you can see from the different views, it looks as if they follow you.
Wow, it's got crazy eyes!
