Mayfly

Oh ... its been much longer then i like since i've posted here. One of the points of this blog is to use it to push my efforts/creativity in the photographic arena. To do that it is essential i post with regularity ... now!

Photographed last week, i believe this is a May Fly although after looking at the images on line i'm not so sure. If you know what this insect is, please let me know:

Mayfly
Mayfly Skeleton

As far as i could tell, it had just emerged from its exoskeleton which was only a few inches away. When i first took a photo its wings were tight against its body and as i continued to shoot, they slowly opened and the Mayfly began to move around.


This was one of the first images and it wasn't moving at this time. The top images shows it has already begun to walk around and its wings were opening upwards.
