Mayfly
Found this little fella resting on the underside of a leaf whilst out photographing Dragonflies... Very easily missed as they are well hidden in the vegetation.

Canon 1Dmk4, EF300f4, iso800, 1/800th, f6.3, handheld. WDYT

Nice to see a Mayfly, even if it is in June. :smile: :wink: A very pleasing image indeed.

Very well caught especially considering it's hand held. Only minor nit from me would be to have a bit more space below the end of the tail but I'd be delighted if it were mine. As has been mentioned above the composition is good with the curved body giving a nice'flow' to the image.
