Blue Winged Olive

[jmoore]

These little guys are hatching right now too. This is a male Baetis tricaudatus Dun, formerly vagans I believe. It's out of focus in the first photo, but in the second you'll notice the tiny hind wing. One of the keys to identifying this fly.

WOW! These photos of hatching trout bugs are really superb...as good or better that those by Ted Fauceglia in his recent book "Mayflies". You ought to consider finding a publisher.

You took the words out of my mouth O Man, totally worth publishing. Driftin, Excelent job on my favorate insect! Great picture to help those who try to get their patterns as close to the real thing as possible...

The top one is probably the best I've ever seen.

How did you get it to hold still ?

This is some really nice work. I'm looking forward to seeing more as it becomes available.
