We had a welcome visitor on our door. I love mayflies — please read this blog post. This one was tired enough to let me take a lot of photographs. Take a look at this photo, and let me know if you notice anything missing:
Did you notice that there are no mouthparts? Many species of mayflies do not eat in the adult stage, and so don’t need mouthparts. They have one order of business: reproducing. That’s why their (adult) lifespans are proverbially short — the order is called Ephemeroptera for a reason.
Good luck, buddy!
