Sulphurs in southeast PA

The sulphurs are out in force on the Delaware........ I think a size 14 or
so. I'll post in APBF as soon as
my home connection comes back online.

I'd love to see those, as I suspect White Flies(Eporus
Leukon, or some such). They are just about due to
peak on the larger streams. Anyone out there seen the
Yellow Breeches of late??

In the Upper West Branch the cold water releases can keep sulphurs going
all summer. Artificial environments aside, they are done in June, so
I'd concur.

We've definately had a big sulfur hatch down here in SE Penna. Lighted
outside wall night before last was covered with sulfurs. Got real close and
took a good hard look at em, and they were sulfurs.

Same night, had a pair of male mayflies I'd never seen before come in and
sit on the computer screen. Transparent legs and abdomen, eyes on stalks
like dumbells. Looked at one under the microscope and could shine light
right through it, and could see fluids moving through the abdomen.

Been a weird bug year - no fireflies, no box elder bugs, bagworms are
everywhere. Looked for the sulphurs last night, but only found a luna moth.
