Year 4 Day 197

Have you ever seen a mayfly? Probably, right? But, the real question is - have you ever seen a mayfly up close? After seeing this, the answer to that question will be "Yes".

I noticed this interesting character was on my back door this morning while in the midst of a mad fury of preparation for our day. I just had to grab my macro lens again and get all up in his business for a photo. Thankfully, he was a willing subject. I will post different photos of him, at different angles, on another day. For now, I just HAD to share this one because it made me smile. He was a happy mayfly.
goofy grin he has!

This is a great capture! He probably didn`t realize how short his life was going to be (a few minutes to a few days).

What a wonderful capture! I have never seen one this close and had no idea their eyes were that strange looking.
