Initially they are all cream colored, with wings that look like a disco globe.

 Then a day or two after they have emerged they are greenish on their bellies, black on top, with brownish/orange legs and transparent wings.  Yep.  

Once they have been around awhile they are pale greenish/brown and black.   No orange hues at all.  And coffee colored wings.

What color are the ones around your area ?

They were all over Stockton yesterday. I remember the first time I ever saw the little bright colored ones, we were in Branson I think it was at least 15 yrs ago maybe more.

Maybe even 13 or 17 years ago?

The last 13+17 year hatch that I recorded was in June 2011. That was when we were fishing those bluegill in my earlier post.

That one is not in the Kama Sutra manual.

You'd think that since they waited 17 years to do that....at least ONE OF THEM would act a little more excited.   🙄 

Might as well be doing dishes, or folding laundry.
