Picture of BWO's laying eggs
I was turning over submerged river rocks at the Applegate over this past weekend to find some march brown nymphs that were emerging that day. I came across a rock with it's underside covered in BWO eggs and some adult BWO's laying eggs. It was very cool to catch the egg layers in the action. Below is a picture of the eggs and BWO's. I was so excited that I could not hold the camera still enough to have a comlpetely cool in focus picture.
I gently rolled the rock back over to allow more egg laying to continue. I think that it is very interesting that there were so many eggs under that one rock. I didn't see anymore eggs under other rocks.
That was a very neat thing to come across.
