I saw this on Thursday evening, next to the river Ouse at the Paxton Pits nature reserve. I would love to know what it is, please. Knocking Hoe 001 by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr

Mayfly? They are aquatic and it is May, after all!

I think it is Ephemera danica, one of our largest Mayflies.

I was wrong - I can see it has 3 "tails" now - sorry. But is it a male because of the long front legs?
