Location:

Jay, Florida

A sure sign that Spring is definitely upon us, this Willowfly, (also known as a Mayfly), landed on my daughters sweater while on a family outing at the river. This is my first sighting up close of these fast and intriguing insects.

Thanks everyone! I loved this 'fortunate' capture the moment I downloaded from my camera. I hope to see more of these fascinating creatures this summer if I am lucky! Have a great day all! :)
