Alderfly ...... is that the name?

I like the texture and veins of the wings shown in detail in the top picture. Another great pair of pictures.

Yep alder. Funny cause the general consensus is the fish eat the larva here in UK but big debate on the actual adult. I always used to put them on the river and I have never seen any eaten. Not by carp, trout, chub or dace. Funny as they are always falling in and can be pretty prolific in areas.

I guess the trout just don´t like the taste of it :-) :-) :-)

No I read somewhere once that they are bitter? Not really wanting to try one myself I'm not sure but it is strange. Anyone else ever seen a fish take the adult?

I agree, the top image is awesome. Good composition, DOF, exposure, and use of light. Please keep posting your images.
