My first opportunity to photograph Mayflies for a couple of years.
As usual the breeze played havoc and made it more difficult, but these insects are such a photogenic subject!!
Mayfly on the riverbank.
A species I love to see most years.
Such a photogenic insect, seen here with a backdrop of Buttercups.
The reflecting lake was created temporarily for a garden exhibition.
The rock on the right is called Bock and is the specific location where the foundation for Luxembourg city was laid in 963 by Count Siegfried. On the left is the "Pont du Stierchen" bridge in the Grund which is said to be the home of one of Luxembourg’s most terrifying and strangest ghosts: the Stierches-geescht.
Ephemera is a composite image, created from a composite of images licensed from Shutterstock. The watch parts themselves are made of 3 components used in another composite.
Probably Ephemera vulgata.
I have always enjoyed photographing the local Mayflies, and have lots of photos of them from over the years.
However, I still can't resist getting the camera out yet again for them.
Such intricate wings, that come across in photographs.
My first Mayfly of the season for me this morning.
Thanks to my learned friend Phil I now know that this specimen with clear wings is a fully fledged adult, rather than the sub-imago (teenager)!!

AAW April 4 to 11: Anything Goes
WIT: Went out for a walk today, and came across this feather clinging to a branch. So delicate and ephemeral.

The sun and the tide. Neither wait for any man. The moment is there and it is gone, never to be repeated in that exact form again.
Once more, a soft, white canvas,spangled with sparkles
is spread , for sun and shadow to write the story of a day.
Pamphlet for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. (c) 1956. No artist mentioned.
UPDATE: Several people got in touch with me and have said that the illustrator is most likely JP Miller. Thanks for the help, guys!
Again, a shame that there is no credit given to who did the wonderful illustrations on this Metropolitan Life Insurance pamphlet. I'd like to think that the jolly illustrations made for lighter reading on serious issues like illnesses, hearing problems, bad eyesight, cancer. Anything to take your mind off, I guess.
Following on from yesterdays walk to the River Axe, whilst the main focus was going to be looking for Odonata, there were lots of these Mayflies in the long grass and shrubs, which is not something I've photographed very often. Not an easy subject to compose for either, those long tails will move about in the slightest of breezes.
Best viewed very large.

An early morning Mayfly. One of the nicest insects to photograph with their intricate and delicate wings. Every year I take several shots of these insects as they appear the same time as I am hunting out the Demoiselles.
I'm sharing these for historical interest and information empowerment for Eichler Home owners.
