The shortest natural life of insect belongs to the Mayfly. 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 .

Three Years.
Only Zac and Ashley know. But she is almost three years older than he is, and that was a big difference when they were in their teens. Girls don't date guys three years younger, let alone sleep with them.
yes they do come out with only about two or three people.
Well, there's sharks and I read an article that we don't know if they sleep. We can only guess, but odds are, they don't. I'm pretty sure a shark is always healthy even though they don't sleep. Maybe there's another animal, but off the top of my head, I'm not sure. Hope that answers it!
