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.
