The Ephemeral Beauty of the Mayfly 🌿🕯️
Belonging to the order Ephemeroptera (literally meaning "short-lived wings"), the Mayfly is a living ghost of the Carboniferous period. They were flying through the air 300 million years ago, and they haven't changed much since.
They are the ultimate bioindicators—if you see them, your water is clean. If they vanish, the ecosystem is in trouble. 💧📉Learn about their strange "no-eating" lifestyle and the myth of the Mayflower on the blog.
