'Everyone knows' that mayflies live for a day, but it's longer than that. They can live from a day to a week, and fly throughout the summer - not just in May - and they are not technically 'flies'. Flies belong in the order Diptera, while mayflies belong in the order Ephemeroptera.
All insects live all year round, of course, but the adult forms of the Mayfly only live for one day.
Mayflies typically have a short life span, with adult mayflies living for only a few hours to a few days. Mayfly season can vary depending on the species, but in general, it peaks in the summer months.
•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!
Mayfly largely feed on algae, fungi and decaying plant materials and then digest what they can and pass out waste
Mayfly nymphs typically have two or three "tails" in the form of filamentous structures at the end of their abdomen. These tails are called cerci and may also include a central filament known as a median caudal filament.
