I searched my archives for a nature pic that somehow captured time. Found one of a stream mayfly (Heptageniidae) on my watch. Happy 2023, folks. 🎇

A Mayfly in October here in the end of November.

This female mayfly was perched by the office door for ~2 days. Of course, I spent too much time observing her. It’s silly but I get sad when I know a mayfly won’t pass on their genes. Would have been too far to back to the ditch from where she emerged.
