Hi Rick, I am a frequent poster on flyfishcalgary.com where there is a forum section on entemology.  There are a few members who continually post excellent photos of insects and hatches here in the rockies and foothills.  Toolman and Max are two that consistently post lost, so perhaps check out the forum and if there are any there you like contact them.

I have a picture of a meadow vole that hatched onto my rod, if you are interested, check the fly fishing forum here for a look  ::)
