A Mayfly Nymph breathes with gills on the side of their body.

A flattened mayfly nymph would be well-suited for life in fast-flowing streams or rivers, where a streamlined body shape helps reduce drag and improve swimming efficiency. This adaptation allows the nymph to conserve energy while navigating turbulent waters and avoiding predators. The flattened body also helps the nymph camouflage against the rocky riverbed, providing better protection from visual predators.
i dont really know but the nymph ones are....... * colour * gills * mouth pieces * small claws * bodies compressed from side-to-side
Both, but it depends on what stage it is in. As a nymph it consumes algae and diatoms. As a last stage adult, it consumes nothing--the mouth is vestigial and digestive system is inflated with air.
