mayfly
nice trips, is it dangerous? isnt distressing that its fucking september?
Looks more like a Caddis Fly, similar species though.
Not at all dangerous it will mate and die. Usually don't even have mouthparts
Mayfly. Harmless, except to your windsheild.
>en.wikipedia.org
but the caddisfly doesn't have those weird antennae on its ass
It's some kind of a mayfly. Caddisflies hold their wings in a different angle
Definitely a mayfly, although it is rare for them to go after something as large as a human like that.
Some species do
Mayfly always have three though, it's the easy way to tell the difference, I do a lot of fly fishing ad knowing what the fish are feeding on is key to catching them
I thought mayfly don't even have a mouth or digestive system because their lifespan is so short?
While it certainly is a mayfly the exact species would be hard to identify. Family is pretty doable but easier from larvae than adult mayflies. Knowing where it was spotted would also narrow it down ALOT
Caddisflies and mayflies look pretty different but the easiest to spot difference is the fact that mayflies belong in palaeoptera (like dragon flies etc) and thus fold their wings differently

mexico city
globally there are over 3000 species
about the same for caddisflies
As far as OP goes he can figure it out by location and hatching habits
My guess is based on my own local knowledge
It too late for mayfly here so my guess would be caddis
They do have mouths though they are incabable of eating after molting
Certainly not caddis

'tis just your wife
It would indeed seem to be a sub tropical species of mayfly
>>mexico city
I'm in the UK and the differences are less obvious as the native species of both are generally smaller and similar looking
The only literature I have about mayflies is for identifying (European) larvae so can't really help with an adult mayfly. The wing cells might be one of the easiest features to use for identification. Atleast it seems to have pterostigma
>pterostigma
what?
dub dubs and filename confirm it is god what you see
Those darker cells on the wings
Shape of the cells and the way their lines connect are species specific
