The Catch of the Night

I walked out of the house last evening with Sadie to pick up the mail and while trolling back to the house look what I caught or maybe it caught me. This looks like a Blue Winged Red Quill Dun Mayfly. If Someone knows any better please let me know? There is more. This little guy let me photograph him at any angle my hand could contort to and it was quite a trip. According to the book Hatch Guide for Western Streams the fly patterns that may emulate the little critter are the SRI CDC Emerger – Brown, the Parachute Dun, and Comparundum. Guess I will try to ty the latter two. There is more. But not having much experience with drafting these type of documents I need to fill this space with busy words so that I can insert additional pictures gracefully if that is possible. Look at this design. Do I really think this little critter happened by chance? Look at all the parts that could go wrong. It is plainly evident that some intelligence designed this through time changing some things to adapt to different environments but the prototype had to have had all of the parts to start functioning. What do you think?
