mayfly larvae eat the stems of water plants, vegetation growing on rocks and other small creatures
Larvae means its wingless, or its the feeding stage for when an insect has completed metamorphisis, an animal in analogous immature form, the young of any invertabrate
why cannot a mayfly eat
Mayfly larvae are preyed upon by a variety of animals, including fish species such as trout, bass, and panfish, as well as aquatic insects like dragonfly nymphs and diving beetles. Additionally, some birds and amphibians also feed on mayfly larvae as part of their diet.
yes a fish can eat a mayfly Nymph.
Mayfly larvae are primarily freshwater organisms and are not adapted to live in saltwater environments. They typically inhabit clean, well-oxygenated rivers and streams. While some aquatic insects can tolerate brackish water, mayflies do not have the physiological adaptations necessary to survive in seawater. Therefore, mayfly larvae cannot thrive in marine environments.
add guppies
•Naiads (Immature stage) have mouth part that allow the mayfly to chew while imagoes (adult) mayflies do not have mouth parts to chew from. • Most mayfly larvae eat mostly dead or live algae from the water although a few are predatory. •By the time the Mayfly has reached its adult stage its digestive system and mouthparts will eventually start to disappear. • The Adult mayfly wont be able to eat anything until it dies!
yes
Hello, the anwer is they prefer 'sewage water' this is because this is their habitat they are adapted to it
Yes, Mayfly Larvae ("Wigglers") can breathe underwater, but the water must be oxygenated for them to do so. The Larvae hatch from eggs in the shallows of lakes where they remain until they through with the larvae stage. Another name for Mayfly larvae is "Wiggler" a very common fish bait used in colder regions.
Fish eggs are not eaten by dragonfly larvae. Dragonfly larvae eat small fish, very small fish and tadpoles. They do not eat fish larvae. A lot of fish eat the larvae out of there own nests.
Mayfly larvae are generally not harmful to guppies. They are primarily detritivores, feeding on decomposing organic matter, and do not pose a direct threat to fish like guppies. However, in large numbers, they could compete for food resources, potentially affecting the health of guppies if other food sources are limited. Overall, their impact is minimal under typical conditions.
