    Adult mayflies don’t eat. They mate and die. There are no kiddies around them. Yes, I know it’s just a cartoon, and quite a good one. I’m just adding a factoid of interest.

    And beware of the undertoad. You don’t want to be eaten before the day is even up.

    Mayflies lay from hundreds to thousands of eggs. I’m guessing the rest of their children are out in the water, feeding the fish.

    If you have the inclination, Google Benjamin Franklin’s short, humorous letter to a lady friend in France, “The Ephemera.” (An “elderly” mayfly philosopher bemoans the deterioration of his species society.)

    Being a mayfly mom is a 24/1 job.
