I have left no citation for the "mufflehead"/"mucklehead" because I know of none, but it is common terminology in my experiences. Every so often the media will do reports on the species, especially around the current time of year, when they return, so I might find something concrete soon; otherwise the Cleveland and Toledo media outlets might be able to provide something if it becomes contentious that there is no cite. "Mufflehead" is usually only used around Cedar Point. (See also the Talk page at "Mayfly") Mapsax 20:14, 20 May 2006 (UTC) and Mapsax 20:16, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
