Description

These night-swarming mayfly (Ephoron virgo) were attracted to the area by light; I used two wireless flashes (with rear curtain sync) positioned sideways, (opposite each other) to freeze their flight, whilst two small video LED lights were placed by the tripod-mounted camera to evenly light the insects’ path. I regularly switched off the lights to allow them to continue.
