Rhithrogena clinging mayfly nymph

Cairngorm, Ephemeroptera, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 8, 2013Leave a comment

While in the Cairngorms in March, I kept going past lovely clear and clean rivers and streams, or I should say burns being that it was Scotland, and being me I couldn’t help but wonder what was in there. Lots it turned out! I’ve posted photos of the Pedicia hairy cranefly larva already and have…

To celebrate the launch of the Freshwater Habitats Trust, I thought I would do a ‘best of’ my pond creature photos (some of which are being used by the FHT). These are a few of the nicer shots I’ve taken. First up, the first photo I was happy with of a four spotted chaser dragonfly…

Ephemeroptera, insect, Suffolk, videoBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 23, 20131 Comment

While on and excellent FSC course at Flatford Mill I caught a burrowing mayfly nymph Ephemera sp. It is the nymph of the original Mayfly, which are most commonly on the wing in May, hence the name which is named after the Mayflower, better known as hawthorn, which blooms at the end of April when…

Cloen dipterum Pond Olive Mayfly

Ephemeroptera, Factfile, Freshwater invertebrates, insectBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 3, 20132 Comments

One of the most common finds in garden ponds this time of year is the Pond olive mayfly nymph Cloen dipterum.
