Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} What species is this?

Cool -- That guy was on a gas pump near Front Royal on my way to St. Louis, extremely early in the morning and I thought it was an odd place to find one of the EPT aquatic insects ;).

I saw thousands of them on the lake around 10PM a few weeks ago. My best guess is Hexagenia limbata, but that's far from an expert opinion.

I saw them all over the place down in Georgia over the 4th. I'll be interested in if anyone knows the scientific name. My googling of "Golden Drake" or "Yellow Sulphur" got me pictures that matched, but they all seemed to claim it was a Hexagenia limbata. Googling "Hexagenia limbata" did not get me matches. Googling the scientific names of "Golden Drake" and "Yellow Sulphur" did not return as good picture matches.

This thing was pretty big -- larger than a half dollar. 

 

The snake doused me in a delicious musk promptly after I chased it across the driveway there.
