| | | hi there , newbie with a fly hatch question
hi guys ! new to the forum but im glad i found it !!
Iv recently noticed a large hatch of these flies [ pic below] 
I am new to studying insects so i hope iv came to the right place for advice ,
I think the fly is a large olive dun ? (baetis rhodani)
am i correct in my conclusion ? I find it hard identifying the colour with out taking a picture this close . Olive is just my guess ?
many thanks in advance  |

Hi there, markyfly! Welcome to WAB
You most certainly have come to the right place! It is a little late, only us night owls are up at this hour, and peeps who are into those creatures enough to be able to help you with an ID are probably diurnal themselves 
Take care, and enjoy.

This is one of the family EPHEMEROPTERA. It is an olive as it too early for Mayfly. Do you have water nearby?
