A mayfly, order ephemeroptera, found on the banks of the Dorset Stour River England UK GB photographed against a black background in a studio. Mayflies can hatch in large numbers and trout will feast on them. The period when they hatch in May in the UK is often called Duffer’s Fortnight in angling circles as the trout will take imitation mayflies and it is deemed that even an incompetent angler can catch a trout during this time.
