iguanamouth: mintyraptor submitted: CHECK OUT THIS BUG I FOUND !! hey lauren what species do u think it is? im having a hard time identifying it. theyre my friend hey hello youve found a mayfly ! ! theyre harmless bugs thatre related to dragonflies, and just like em they also spend a bunch of time underwater as little nymphs before emerging as the adult form up there theyre kind of notorious for having REALLY short lifespans once they reach the adult stage ( especially considering some species spend like two years underwater ) they usually last a day at most, and some dont even reach an hour since the adult form is really only for finding another mayfly to pair off and lay eggs with, they dont have any functioning mouthparts and dont eat at all when they get their wings ! luna moths are the same way. its hard out there for a bug -- source link
