A Mayfly - Ephemeroptera sp

Mayfly adults have two pairs of wings; the front pair is large and well developed, while the rear pair is much smaller. Often the forelegs are very long, which gives the insect a characteristic "elongated" appearance when resting. Adults have reduced mouth parts and do not feed.
