Best Answer

Mayfly adults are often called one-day flies in other European languages because they live for between five hectic mating minutes and die, or two days or so. This means they appear are all over the place near the water where they spent their sexually immature year when they mature. This is very noticeable for a day or two in Spring, which this Australian understands falls in May in some places. They have air for guts and no mouth. Born for sex, when they are through, they have no more calories.
