love to get these in my area. that means FISHING TIME =D

[@macaroniooo352]

1:45 how big is this mayfly? It looks huge

[@Patrick.Weightman]

The fact that they molt despite only living for 24 hours total is arguably the most absurd part about it

[@simpleffective186]

Huh, i see it as the molting transitions them to the final phase of their lives in which they have (roughly) 24 hours. Btw, they molt dozens of time throughout their nymph lifespan :)

[@dejamonet1335]

They look like little fairies when flying 😩

[@user-rl7cw9eg8e]

I used to live in Ohio where there were TONS of mayflies. The only reason there were so many of them is because I lived very close to a lake. I'm surprised a lot of people have never heard of mayflies, or as I like to call them, junebugs

[@RossD8]

There's actually an insect called a june bug. Could never be mistaken for a mayfly.

[@Oneofusagain]

Junebugs are actual bugs lol

[@reddragon9182]

Only in Ohio

[@lovewins4471]

I thought the junebugs were June beetles ??

[@samrowe2889]

Stop Mayflys and June bugs are massively different please use Google it's your friend

[@deonterobinson3702]

oh calm down everyone, they're harmless. like every other creepy crawly, they are simply minding their own business.

[@kidmanier]

"Like every other creepy crawly" Um.. I'm pretty sure there are deadly creepy crawlers out there that HAVE killed humans with poisonous bites.

[@Mattthewshaw]

wow... These comments escalated quickly lol I agree. I do usually kill House centipedes though... they are too fast to catch and really freak me out.

[@amynettles9758]

[@boruto1974]

Are you insane?

[@jubjub444]

nope, if you look at a mayfly up close they are quite cute

[@flashdemonic5576]

They're sex crazed animals that live one day....

[@fabergeLEGOboy]

+JubJub444 Have you ever experienced the horror of mayflies? Well I can tell you, they are the exact embodiment of Satan. They're annoying little shits that cling onto everything, including people. They leave dark stains on you if crush them, and make disturbing crunching sounds if you step on them.

[@Youre_dumb]

yeah but they are literally useless, but I guess they make for good food.

[@biodiversiteavecpassion7448]

[@hollow1987]

Rest in peace, petey the mayfly.

[@KendallsCreations]

Mayflies are also known as shadflies! In canada! I have to put up with them every season! Im just thankful that they dont bite! Did you know that shadflies are a positive thing, if they dont show up in their ushall mating spots across the glob it means theres something wrong with the waters. True fact.

[@jaybl00d71]

Kendall C I live in the Bay & this is true

[@KendallsCreations]

Same here lol

[@MrUmakemelaff]

+Kendall C We used to call them fishflies or mayflies. It's true about calling them shadflies, although we never did. :)

[@KendallsCreations]

i guess every town calls them differently :P

[@towley5567]

+Kendall C June bugs or fish flies on Lake Erie!

[@articounias383]

Oh my fucking god they flap all around you, that's so nasty and scary for someone with phobias

[@MattMangels]

I saw a bunch of these things in Davenport, Iowa.

[@OCrow2460]

The flies and the way they were swarming looked like Hexagenia Limbata. So my best guess would be somewhere up in the midwest. Maybe Michigan if I had to take a guess.

[@Meme-xq1wn]

Something similar to this is currently happening in Las Vegas

[@a_loving_touch]

that was the saddest story...

[@chadpulliam2001]

How many hatchings could one expect per year? Curious because ours start typically Fathers Day Weekend and hatch about 10 times until around the mid to end of August on Wilson Lake AL (TN River)

[@YoshiIsHitokiri]

They looked like bats when they flew really fast past the camera

[@MikeViLLaZ]

the eggs look the hard oil seeds you find on your skin and you have to pinch it out

[@bbbbbahar]

Why dont they call the mayfly a dayfly

That’s another name for them

[@jowens497]

nope

[@Lemonjamin]

They are terrible.

[@theworthysoul]

@@Lemonjamin no they’re not

[@archaicoutlaw]

They're great for catching fresh water fish. It's pretty annoying when they swarm though. Makes it kinda hard to breathe.

This is my living nightmare

Me: *comes outside* , what a good time to be alive- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY'RE TAKING OVER 1:07

[@Commander_HW]

I live right by a lake, and omg!!!!! Every summer we get gazillion of them! Every morning we get a THICK LAYER of their dead bodies laying outside of our door. I am not even exaggerating, we have to cover our nose and mouth when we go out in the afternoon, because the air is filled with mayflies. It is so scary, I open my door and RUN outside.

[@itsme_again1374]

whats their purpose??

[@anthonypayne6032]

They are water cleaners in the pupa sage crawling on the bottoms of streams and lake. shows healthy waters if you see them. a lot of other animals feed off of them birds, bats, fish, frogs.

[@theworthysoul]

Why are y’all so mean to mayflies? They’re harmless, they cause no problems whatsoever, they’re the inspiration of many fishing hook designs and even the name of ships, and they’re cousins of dragonflies and damselflies. Plus these things lived long before humans so we can’t keep acting like they’re aliens.

[@AzinLefebvre]

Then what happens to the dead insects? Left lying all over the place like that? Gross! :O

Nothing, the wind will take them...
