Imagine being born and not worrying about your education, career, well being, lifestyle, life goals or social status. Your only purpose in life is to breed.

[@rickbachman6432]

One of the most fascinating stories in nature. I actually feel sorry for the mayfly as it does what it has to do to keep it's species alive.

[@MindTurd]

No mouths, how cruel nature is. He doesn't get to french kiss the one he bonked.

[@chiniacuna1375]

Mind Turd I-

[@theworthysoul]

Mind Turd same goes for some moths which emerge mouthless and starve after mating, but mayflies have the shortest adult lifespan. However as nymphs they live several years.

[@bo-dine7971]

@@theworthysoul They don't really starve per-se, because they do not have a feeding function any longer, they do not feel hunger, which comes from certain hormones, so they more just run out of energy and collapse, I don't know how it would feel but it wouldn't be as horrible as starving to death for for the larvae or us.

You guys forget about the theory that time is relative and this mayfly has lived and entire life.

[@Dr_Skelebone]

Bowl Of Carrots So you’re saying from a mayflys perspective a flight lasting a minute or so would last weeks for a mayfly?

[@IO9802]

You don't understand time relativity, do you?

[@xXxtroublebehindxXx]

IO9802 Yes I do. Sorry that I never got the link up though.

[@IO9802]

So, if you do, then tell me how the relativity theory is relevant to mayfly's lifespan.

[@xXxtroublebehindxXx]

IO9802 Sorry, I understand how you can mistake that original comment. Time relativity is not exactly what I was mentioning, there's a link above that simplifies it much more. The theory I was addressing was Paul Janet's theory of Time Perception. Have a nice day :)

[@anthonynunez409]

So that's ay larva mayfly died so quickly

[@annekevrieling8101]

There are far more than 3 UK species - there are 51. They most common one, Baetis rhodani, can be found as adult all year long although most emerge either in spring or late summer (two generations)

People work to breed these things? They're so numerous around Lake Erie I figured they were doing fine on their own.

Right! They hit us last night and covered our entire building, I don't think they need any help.

[@modetallah]

[@shree0014]

came here because I found this "unusual looking mosquito like insect with tails" on my fish tank. It was in nymph stage of its development(no wings yet). very fascinating!

[@loadedhot1034]

When fishing the river at night I have had so many of them stuck to my lantern that they blocked out the light. One night we were going a few miles up river in our 16' boat, and we had a big light bar in the front and when we got to our destination the mayflys were 4" deep in the bottom of the boat. There were probably 50 pounds of dead Mayflys in there and I had to clean them out and boy did they start to stink after a couple of days.

[@filipmac5577]

Now thats what I call bad evolution!

I see one of mayfly today in the beach it was floating i thought it was dead but when i touch it its moving so i try to rescue that amazing insect. I dnt have any idea what it was i thought it was a small butterly until take a photo and search it on google and i find out its a mayfly & i get curious to know their history and i found this video. Its really wonderful experience to see this amazing water insect but sad to say they just live so short.
