birkinDescrição
Ameletid Minnow Mayflies have short antennae and the three tails are the same length. They move about by swimming and are extremely sensitive to pollution. My third photo shows it compared to the Little Stout Crawler Mayfly from my previous observation.

I'm guessing that it is a member of the Little Stout Crawler Mayflies, based on my Voshell text: "In top view, the only structures that are visible on the abdomen other than the tails are a pair of large, thick, movable plates. The plate-like gill protectors are shaped nearly like triangles, and there is a space between them in the middle."

It landed on my data sheet right by the water's edge on the Russian River. I was doing a macroinvertebrate study, so I thought it was nice of it to present itself to me.
