Speckled Dun (Genus Callibaetis), male, taken July 20, 2025, in New Hampshire, US

A tiny mayfly perched on my hand! I was originally trying to get a picture of this guy on a leaf, but he spooked and ended up flying onto my hand, where he decided he wasn't moving any more. The angle was absolutely horrible to get a picture from, so I had to contort my arm uncomfortably and lay my camera on it to stabilize everything; needless to say, it was a very taxing photoshoot. This photo turned out nice, though, and you can see all of the features of this mayfly's anatomy quite well, especially his wicked looking eyes!

Why we like to fish Callibaetis patterns for high mountain lakes. Brookies crushing it. @feather_flinger with the hand modeling. #flyfishing #flytying #brooktrout #callibaetis
