This is really super too, Davide! I really enjoy your great macro photos! And I'm reading your text about how you searched on internet about info, and I recognise myself in you! I did the same, and realised after that how much more I've learnt about life around me just because I took a photo of unknown bug.
I would have said this is dragonfly... But perhaps mayfly is something similar. Although dragonflies do have mouths, because they eat smaller insects.

really thank u all for the comments!
i've spent some hour on google and i've finally found the name of this insect.... in italian it's known as "effimera", in english, as Alan wrote: "mayfly"....
a poor insect that spend 2-3 years in larval stadium, then became adult and live for some hour....
roberto mean:"be careful, it bite!"
...but that poor insect, don't have mouth at all...
it's just food for other species....
and as far as yesterday, i don't knew nothing about it....
that's for me macrophotography...
not only a click, but enlarge mi knows about my subject...
really thank u all, friends!
a beautiful birthday present to me!
ciao!
Davide

Dear Davide, this is a fantastic macro composition. I don't know the name but you captured this insect in a perfect way.
Regards, Gerry
