The tiny mayfly Prosopistoma pennigerum caught my attention while working as a student assistant in the group. I immediately fell in love, not only with this special mayfly, but also with the unique rivers where they live, like the Vjosa, in Albania and Greece. Currently, I'm working on my Master thesis to find out more about the distribution, and habitat characteristics of P. pennigerum in northern Greece and Southern Albania.
