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.
When they eat food, they have to defecate. They would also defecate if they have intestinal problems or sickness. Also, fear and stress can make animals defecate.
Tortoises defecate through their cloaca, which functions as their anus.
Most species feed on algae or diatoms, but there are a few predatory species. (Wikipedia)For the source and more detailed information concerning your request, click on the related links section (Wikipedia) indicated directly below this answer section.
All insects live all year round, of course, but the adult forms of the Mayfly only live for one day.

Swimming Mayfly Nymphs (also called naiads) fall under the order Ephemeroptera and the family Baetidae or Leptophlebidae.
most types of mayfly nymphs are omnivorous but some types can be either herbivores or carnivores as well
Spiny crawler is what the Hendrickson mayfly (Ephemerella subvaria) nymph is called.Specifically, the nymph is the immature developmental stage of the mayfly. It is what hatches out of the eggs laid by the female after mating with the male Hendrickson mayfly. It looks like a developing, smaller version of the mature Hendrickson mayfly.

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.
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
There are many species of mayfly, some do not lay eggs, but for the species best known to fly fishermen and commonest in the UK, they lay eggs pretty much the same way as all flies - they are deposited from the rear of the abdomen. They are laid directly into the surface of running water.
Nymphs. Wood nymphs are dryads/ napaeae; tree nymphs are hamadryads; water, stream and fountain nymphs are naiads; sea nymphs are nereids; ocean nymphs are oceanids; and mountain nymphs are oreads.
yes a fish can eat a mayfly Nymph.
