Crimea, mountain river. On photos you may see almost all stages of the species - larvae, pupae, imago (at least it's thought so). By Olga Vityuk.

Thank you, John! Is it possible to identify the species? And as far as I get, that's a male black fly? |

Yes, a male black fly. I do not know how to identify species from your area. In North America some characters used early in keys are distribution of hairs on the radius and costa, branching pattern of gills, structures on the first two hind tarsomeres, and presence of small basal tooth on female claws (normally used to grasp feathers). |
