@bscgscotland Could be Gus! Would need to see the specimen to confirm though.

Could this #stonefly , photod a few days ago (Feb) in Cornwall (Tamar Valley) be an early flying Nemurella pictetii?? #TuesdayThought (only NFRs currently showing here by Spey)

Collaborative poster with Buglife and NMNI, at @Ento25. Synthesis of fieldwork looking at under-explored freshwater ecosystems in Ireland, to fill in species knowledge gaps. Case study on riverflies, from NPWS funded project, Burren, Co. Clare. Thanks to many other contributors.

Out @Riverflies monitoring on Foston Beck East Yorkshire. Good numbers of Blue Winged Olives and various beetles. @Buzz_dont_tweet @bugsymac1

A Mayfly with ? large hindwings & 3 tails for #MayflyMonday
(No id yet any suggestions appreciated. Seen 29 June by a controversially threatened site near the River Nethy in Strathspey in the #Cairngorms National Park) #ephemeroptera #riparianzone
English
Many thanks for speedy help.
These (16 June at a threatened site by the R. Nethy) look like they fit #Siphonoperla torrentium ?#ThursdayThoughts
Craig Macadam@bugsymac1
@bscgscotland Yes Isoperla grammatica
English
Many thanks.
Is this bigger and less vivid yellowish one (photo 16 June from threatened site by the Nethy again) I. grammatica ? #thistle #stonefly #ThursdayThought
Craig Macadam@bugsymac1
@bscgscotland This one is Siphonoperla torrentium. Chloroperla has less dark markings on the head and pronotum

Stoneflies (that on small size ? fit #Chloroperla tripunctata Scarce Small Yellow Sally ) briefly watched near the River Nethy this morning #tuesdayvibe #plecoptera #riparianzone
English
@bscgscotland The mayfly is a male Baetis subimago. The stonefly looks like Chloroperla tripunctata rather then I. grammatica. The latter would have a pale longitudinal stripe on the pronotum
English
Many thanks
25 May find same site a female too ??
On Ad. #stonefly front so far all fits with #Isoperla grammatica photod by Nethy have healthy intact #wings
This Yellow Sally with incomplete right antenna (but ? just accidental break)
Craig Macadam@bugsymac1
@bscgscotland Another Baetis sp. A female this time so can’t get any further.

Can we guess this poorly photod #Mayfly (seen 8 June 2025) - with 2 tails & ? small hindwing - & also from near the Nethy (on a threatened site) was one of our 9 Baetis spp too? #TuesdayThought
Craig Macadam@bugsymac1
@bscgscotland It’s one of the Baetis species. It has tiny hindwings at the base of the forewings.

A #Mayfly (photod 8 June on an Ash leaf) on a threatened site in Strathspey near the River Nethy.
In need of a name please anyone. (Showed 2 tails, ? lacked hindwings; could P. bifidum Pale Evening Dun be a fit?)
#MondayMayFly #FairerPlanning
English
@bscgscotland @RareInverts6 It’s definitely Nemouridae but can’t ID further with the specimen
English
A #stonefly in need of an id ? nemouridae
26 May on a controversially threatened site by the River Nethy in the #Cairngorms National Park (where new housing would add light pollution & be bad news
for sensitive #biodiversity. )

What a season @bathgatethistle. Never dreamed back to back promotions was possible back in August. A rollercoaster of a season right to the end!
Promotion, a cup semi final, and a run in the Scottish. Well done all involved 👏👏🍾🍾
Same again next year? 😜

Do you love studying insects, and appreciate the value of museum entomology collections? We are looking for an Entomologist to join our growing team of Natural Science curators at the Ulster Museum. ce0568li.webitrent.com/ce0568li_webre…
English
@bscgscotland This looks like a Leuctra sp. possibly L. hippopus
English
Thanks.
This at ACM today (25 Mar.) a bit high up to view but images & size seem to look ok for a (more intact) f B. putata ?
Craig Macadam@bugsymac1
@bscgscotland @RareInverts6 Looks like the wings are damaged rather than deformed. From the images it looks like a female of Brachyptera putata
