Mayflies beloing to the order of Ephemeroptera, a word that is derived form the Greek 'ephermeros' meaning short lived and 'pteron' meaning wing. Ephemeroptera typically live to no more that 48 hours as adults and most do not even have functioning mouth parts and are incapable of eating.The Dolania americana mayfly (of the order Ephemeroptera) has the shortest lifespan of all, with female typically living no more than five minutes.Mayfly nymphs can spend as little as a half-year or as long as two years on the bottom of the stream. The period of time spent depends on the species. The Baetis mayfly can complete up to three life cycles in a year's time but the Hexigenia limbata mayfly completes its life cycle in slightly more than two years.For total life span, one of the shortest-lived insects is the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster which has a life span of around 60 days."Life" pertains to the entire existence of the organism from conception to death, not just adult life. Some naiads may live as immatures up to 3 1/2 years before adulthood of 1-2 days.The Mayfly adult has a lifespan between a few minutes and a few hours .
