This is a Hex mayfly.   It is common on rivers and lakes  that have  silt or mud as their base. Its larvae require this kind of environment.   

1/125 f9.0 @ 60mm

Thanks for looking!

Hi

A cool shot of this fellow and a good close up view - perhaps a more paralleled angle would have helped in overall subject sharpness

All the best
Matthew

Nice magnification and a great low angle shot. Have seen these a few times but never managed to make a photo

Fine image - I like this kind of angle and cropped view.
