. . . It’s as if we are born, grow up, and die all on the same spot, ignorant of the vastness that surrounds us. “Think about it in terms of a mayfly that lives and dies in a single afternoon in a creek on the mountains,” said Jake Lowenstein, a geologist with the U.S Geological Survey. “A mayfly doesn’t really believe in nighttimes or hailstorms or winter or ice. They never see anything but light and water, so why would they believe in anything else?

“We’re the same way,” ~ Page 65

Despite their name, mayflies are active during the warmer months of the year, not just May. They tend to be gray, yellow, or brown and have long, thin abdomens. Mayfly larvae are aquatic and found in nearly all types of water bodies, from streams to lakes. The larva is often used as a bioindicator species to measure the health of water. Mayflies can vary in size, growing anywhere from a quarter-inch (0.6 centimeters) to 1.1 inches (2.8 centimeters).

Mayfly larvae feed on detritus and other plant materials. Some may feed on insects. The adults do not feed.

Females deposit eggs in the water. Mayflies spend most of their lives in the water as nymphs and then emerge as adults for only a short while. Adults will live only a day or so, but the aquatic larvae lives for about a year.

There are more than 600 species of mayfly in the United States and 3,000 worldwide.

I am so annoyed at people who make photos of insects so beautiful! I hate looking at insects, but love looking at your photo. All of nature is fascinating - and obviously beautiful to the right onlooker!
