    Default A Coffin Fly by Any Other Name

    Davy McPhail has done a fine video on what he calls the Paraloop Gnat (Spinner). I'll leave it to you to decide if it is, or could be, a Hexagenia limbata.

    Ed,

    Very cool fly; thanks for the link. Change up the colors a bit and it would make a great brown drake spinner, too.

    Regards,

    Yes, it would be a good coffin fly (Ephemera guttulata) you'd probably want to make it a bit darker for a Hexagenia limbata.
