Mighty Green Drake No.2 - Mercer's Poxyback Green Drake Nymph (in Europe - Epeorus assimilis)
NOTE: I just found that Epeorus is not a "crawler" it is a "clinger" nymph - the eye location on the sides of its head (crawlers), a key crawler vs. clinger separator. Clinger has eyes on top of the head.

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
