But do note that the wings are hyaline and glossy (as opposed to translucent and dun-colored). The mayfly subimago came to be called "dun'' because of its dull (as opposed to glossy) wing and body colors; the color dun is defined as "a nearly neutral slightly brownish dark gray and ranging from red to yellow in hue". The most common mayfly in England is Ephemerella danica, whose subimago is a good example of this coloration, and the term came to be applied, by anglers, to all mayflies in the subimago stage of their lives (also the largest hatches of E. danica occur in May in England, which is how mayflies came to be called mayflies).
