Giant mayfly

Hexagenia limbata

Description:

Not great photos, but it's a creature in my world ... I'll try again. Not 100 percent sure on the ID, but this seems most likely. Maybe 2" without the long tail. Appears to be tender-skinned, newly emerged perhaps, after several rainy days. Photographed on a glass surface.
