Photographed the lower one at the Burn of Valayre sitting on a leaf. The top one was found in my beard on return to my house (god knows what else might be in there). Anyone know anything about these..genus or further? EDIT; Top one was playing Possum...released alive and well. Edited by Roger Thomason on 10-08-2010 23:44 |

Hi, this keys were valid at least until 1989 - Males / hindwing present (maybe reduced) / 2 tails / turbinate compound eye / 2 small veins between the longer ones (wing´s posterior margin) -> Baetis. The first one seems so (B. rhodani? B. vernus?), but I can´t see it clearly in the second, in case it has one single small vein between the other 2 it would be Centroptilum (?) |

Imago is B. rhodani indeed. The subimago below could as well be rhodani, or maybe vernus or even niger/digitatus. A close-up of the hind wing could provide a definite answer. The hindwing of Centroptilum is much smaller and pointy/spur shaped |
