This is a midge!

What has long forward legs, plumose antenna, clear wings, and a scorpion shaped tail?  I didn't know!  If you are a fly fisherman you might know, but it took me an hour on the internet to figure out this is a midge.

Midges live in lakes and rivers and are in the order Diptera, which are insects with one pair of wings.  Other insects in this family are flies, mosquitoes, and gnats.
