More About mayfly
Mayflies have been around for a long time. They first came to Earth over 300 million years ago! They are one of the oldest bugs we know. They have changed a bit but still look like their great-great-great-grandparents.
Mayflies are good for nature. They help fish and birds eat. When they are in the water, it means the water is clean. This helps us too!
In the summer, we can see many mayflies. They fly in the air and dance around. Some mayflies can live for just one day. That is why they are special and fun to watch!
