Fly Fishing Gear

what bug is this?

I found this bug and its a yellow color, it looks like a dragon fly.
it has a long tail and wings that go up rather than on the sides.
then theres two things that look like inteanas bt its mouth and if you touch it they go in.
i think its nymph.

If it has wings, then it is an adult insect. There are no larval or nymph forms of any insects that possess wings. (Although mayflies have a sub-mature stage called an imago that does -but that's not important right now).

From the description of the wings folding upwards while at rest, I would guess that it's probably either a damselfly (close relatives of the dragonfly), or a mayfly.

Here's some pictures of damselflies:

and some of mayflies:

You can see in the pictures of the mayflies that many of them hold their front legs in front of their face while resting. When touched, they'll retract these. This leads me to suspect that there's a high probability that your critter is a mayfly.
