There was some discussion of Hexagenia genus mayflies on a previous thread, and I thought it might be neat to see if other users could provide a few photos of some of these bugs, since they are impressive.
I usually run across at least a few late hexes (pictured: Hexagenia atrocaudata) each year on Penns creek. The more famous midwestern Hex (Hexagenia limbata) is a bug that I've never encountered in pennsylvania, although I understand that there are a few of them in the vicinity of Lake Erie and on the Susquehanna River. I believe there are also a few other species hatch that hatch in PA, like the "black mayfly" (Hexagenia bilineata). If anybody has photos of any PA hexes, I'd love to see them.
