Mayfly

This is a Stenonema femoratum mayfly nymph, sometimes called a "Cream Cahill." Mayfly taxonomy has changed dramatically over the years, and unfortunately, the best sources for field or microscope ID available to the non-specialist are out of date. To make the sources sync with today's taxonomy requires various translation sheets. It gets rather confusing. Across the mayflies of North America are many genera and species that have been lumped or reassigned, in many cases to the consternation of anglers who point out that some lumped species contain two or more forms that have different hatch periods as well as different and distinctive body markings. Genetic work has had a huge impact on mayfly taxonomy and from what I've read, or at least from what I understand, the majority of the taxonomy changes have resulted from laboratory work. Maybe a better explanation for some of the problems taxonomic changes have caused fly fisherman and interested non-specialists would be...

A few photos and notes for "Matchless"

Similarly, another very interesting poet named Tom Beckett , who also happens to be a friend of Alex, lives in Kent. But I didn't meet Tom until five years ago, when I att...

The 8th (VIII) International Pwoermd Writing Month 2017 concluded yesterday. I wrote a lot of pwoermds in April, and posted a few to facebook. I thought I'd dump the lot of them here, including a few that I never got around to posting. Here are two that didn't get posted in April. The dead frog was found on a road along the Little Pigeon River in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Here's a longer piece devoted to the Purple Dead Nettle. And in no particular order, here are more pieces: limnstone doord unpact chesmitry widlelife widyllife
