The May bug has no "stinger" so to speak, however it can bite you if you infuriate it, although this is a very rare occurence (I've never heard of it happening to anyone I know).
Generally I try to be nice to May bugs as they are harmless and are becoming more uncommon due to pesticide usage, leave the window open if one flies in and it will find its way out again!
mayfly larvae eat the stems of water plants, vegetation growing on rocks and other small creatures
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.
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.
