Garden Insect Count - 7

I am very much puzzled by the look of this insect.

Another great close-up. It looks a little bit strange.

I can't help you out there - but you sure know how to find them!

[Dianne]

Is it a NZ mayfly? They live in streams as larvae for years then finally emerge. They are an indicator of the stream health and prefer nice freshwater streams. Was it near one of these?

[Dianne]

Or it might be a stonefly - they generally have two 'tails' and mayfly often have three.

this does not look like it, Yes, this part of the garden is by the stream.

Are there two?

Whatever … fabulous photo!

[Heather]

Another fabulous insect capture! Like @boxplayer, I'm wondering if there are two (there seem to be two sets of antennae)

👌👌👌

Looks like it has two heads and is carrying some other insect around with it. Terrific capture of the details and love the green background.
