I think he's got our number, fellas...What does @Taxon say? Perhaps we are suffering spending too much time indoors.
Looks like we are both wrong.Perhaps some are suffering. My heart goes out to them.
Correct me if Iām wrong, but looks to me like a pupa is not a nymph. It is the difference between complete and incomplete metamorphosis.
Complete metamorphosis is a type of insect development that contains four stages that are egg, larva, pupa, and adult and the stages differ morphologically.
Incomplete metamorphosis is a type of insect development where gradual changes occur between the egg stage and the adult. It contains three stages which are egg, nymph, and adult.
- Complete metamorphosis refers to a type of insect development where the developmental stages are different from each other morphologically, while incomplete metamorphosis is a type of development in insects where changes in their body occur gradually during their lifetime.
- Complete metamorphosis has four developmental stages while incomplete metamorphosis contains three stages.
- The complete metamorphosis contains larvae which are very active, ravenous-eating larvae, while incomplete metamorphosis contains nymphs which resembles adults.
- In complete metamorphosis, the exoskeleton is shed while in the incomplete metamorphosis the exoskeleton may remain throughout the lifetime.
- Reproductive ability is found in adults in complete metamorphosis while in incomplete metamorphosis reproductive ability is successful in some former stages.
First, Iām going to address āsyntax,ā which you can look up the definition forāit refers to the order and sequence of words, so I donāt see how syntax is relevant. Again, I think you must mean ādiction,ā which refers to word choice.
Second, if you are calling a pupa a nymph, Iām fine with that. I can see a pupa being a ānymphā in a colloquial sense, but I donāt think that is how taxonomists classify the different phases. Thatās what I was saying. But Iām not a taxonomist. What say you, @Mark Melton and @Taxon : is a chironomid pupa a nymph?
I'm only to page three and you guys are making my head hurt.Iām such an idiot, I didnāt mean syntax, I meant semantics. I do know the difference, but somehow syntax was stuck in my brain. Semantics are what you are arguing, colloquial or not. Itās like telling someone that you donāt have a Band-Aid to give them because all you have are adhesive strips not the actual brand. Or throwing a tomato into a fruit salad. Chironomid pupae are called nymphs.
The point ultimately is that in the drawing Diptera would work. I personally donāt understand why āemergerā is so hard to define though, unless as I said before people just want to make up an excuse to throw up a pattern that isnāt an emerger.
Do I see a micro barb on each hook? What hook? These would be absolutely KILLER on the big marl shoal on my favorite BC lake, BUT: I'd fish it with an I-line so it would be a streamer-nymph not an emerger (how's that Matt and Ira? Streamer-nymph - a new classification).View attachment 55553View attachment 55554Just another controversial jig emerging pattern
You mean something like this?Do I see a micro barb on each hook? What hook? These would be absolutely KILLER on the big marl shoal on my favorite BC lake, BUT: I'd fish it with an I-line so it would be a streamer-nymph not an emerger (how's that Matt and Ira? Streamer-nymph - a new classification).
I'm feeling like these would also be killer in a lot of high mountain lakes. Gonna have to tie a few up. Thanks for the inspiration @BillyThese would be absolutely KILLER on the big marl shoal on my favorite BC lake
You can probably tie them easier on a regular hook. I tied them specifically on a jig hook for one very shallow lake and possibly to throw a foot or even less under an indie.I'm feeling like these would also be killer in a lot of high mountain lakes. Gonna have to tie a few up. Thanks for the inspiration @Billy
I'm not quite sure what one is...Now for God sake somebody post an emerger.
Aquatic insects undergo either incomplete metamorphosis or complete metamorphosis. Incomplete metamorphosis has (3) lifestages, which are commonly referred to as egg, nymph, and adult. Complete metamorphosis has (4) lifestages, which are commonly referred to as egg, larva, pupa, and adult.Perhaps some are suffering. My heart goes out to them.

So you gonna put that tomato in your fruit salad. Should be yummy.Well well well. It seems plain then that a chironomid pupa, being a true fly, cannot also be a nymph.

The prosecution rests.
This is definitely not the strongest closing argument from the Defense that this court has seen. But since we are after hours at the bar now, Iāll tell you that Iām actually not a big fan of fruit salad, but I would not put tomatoes in it, just like I would not put pupae in a nymph salad. But weāre just talking about fruit salad and word salad, the case having been decisively settled and all (with no appeals), so you do you.So you gonna put that tomato in your fruit salad. Should be yummy.
