Over 400 mayfly genera have been found so far in 42 families.You can read about their classification on the internet.

They look similar to smaller versions of damselflies.They have a small pair of antennae and are not mosquitoes.

There are 6 limbs and a large pair of wings for the Mayfly.

The body is usually black, yellow, or other dull colors.The wings are transparent and may have dark linings.

They are common names of the same pest.May is when they are most often found.

They will be in huge swarms when you see them.In this pest control guide, you will learn how to deal with mayfly swarms.

They come out during the month of May.Depending on what species you are dealing with, they can appear earlier or later than May.A huge difference can be made by environmental conditions.

Larger swarms of these pests may be born earlier than May because of the warmer weather.

They have their own unique characteristics, even though they look like giant dragonflies or crane flies.

They are classified as aquatic pests and live in water.Humans start to notice when they become a pest because they are usually out of the water.

Pets will eat mayflies as a source of food.Many people grow them in their home because they are easy to breed and readily available.

The tail is the most distinguishing feature of the mayfly.Mayfly anatomy is easy to understand.

As they travel around, they may have two or three tails that extend from their bodies.The Mayfly can swim very quickly.They use their tails as they swim.

They have a large pair of wings with 6 legs and a dark color.

They are about 1” in length and have a large wingspan.They are often in shades of black with striped designs.

Mayflies are a simple species and have a complicated life cycle.They go through 4 phases.

Eggs are laid by Mayflies and they start out in egg form.The number of eggs produced can range from less than 50 to over 8,000 depending on the species.

An adult female mayfly will lay eggs in a water source and then sink or stick to any surface on the way down.The eggs range in size from circle to sphere.

The eggs will hatch in about 14 days.The environment, weather, temperature, and more can all affect how quickly an egg will hatch.

There will be periods of time when the egg will stop producing.They can avoid hostile conditions for the nymph development.

There are many molts during this phase.The skin on a nymph will split down the back once they have been molting for 50 times.The wings come out.

The subimago form is also known as the dun.The subimago will fly out of the water and find shelter.The imago stage, also known as a spinner, is where a final molt will take place over the course of a few hours.

The second-to-last phase will include Mayflies.The visible wings of the imago phase are blue, gray, or yellow.

The mayfly has veins in its wings, but not always.During this part of the mayfly life cycle, they will start growing longer tails and limbs.

After the mayfly is an adult, it will be time to have sex.The male and female mayflies will mate and the female will deposit her eggs.

The female mayfly only has her wings for a short time.Females can hold onto their eggs for two days.

Female mayfly will drop the eggs from several inches up into water sources, and others will fly close to the water's surface and touch it with her abdomen.

Sometimes they deposit objects that are sticking out of the water on the underside so they can be submerged.

The female will die after the eggs are deposited.In their adult lives, Mayfly don't live more than a day or two.Some species only live for a short time while others live a long time.

Men will perform a dance over the water at night.They will fly into an air current and make up and down patterns.Women will join the mayfly swarm.

This is where the relationship begins.The males will approach the females on the wing.Males will grasp the females using their legs.

They provide a food source for many fish and reptiles found in the wild, and since they are so abundant, some predators rely on mayfly for a steady source of food.

Many predator have evolved to catch and eat mayflies because they are so abundant.They are easiest to eat when they are in their nymph form.

Some mammals, birds, and Frogs eat mayflies.Since mayflies have both an aquatic and an airborne life, they provide a food source for both sea and air predator who prey on them.

There are small plant pieces or algae that are living on objects like stones, rocks, and logs.Some people will swim through the water and eat floating algae.

The adult form mayfly feeds on various vegetable matter.They have vestigial mouth parts so they can barely eat.

They can dive to the surface of the water.Even as adults with a pair of wings, mayfly can still go underwater.

Mayflies are found all over the world.They are widespread in North America, but not specific to any state.

Connecticut and Michigan have more mayfly problems than other states.Since the swarms are native to the area, there isn't much you can do to get rid of them.

Depending on temperature and environmental conditions, they can surface early April or late June.The next mayfly season for 2020 will be in May of next year.

They are not allowed to bite, sting, or harm humans or pets.These flying spiders are harmless to humans, unlike the unruly mosquitoes, chiggers, or no see ums.

There are no parts of Mayfly that would hurt you by biting, stinging, or otherwise hurting your skin.It is impossible for a mayfly to break human skin, so you have nothing to worry about.

They have a much longer lifespan during their aquatic life, but once they are grown up, they live for 24 hours.They can't sustain themselves as an adult due to their poor eating mechanics.

They don't have a complete mouth because they have vestigial mouth parts.

They don't have a mouth, but they do have remnants of what they used to have.They evolved with basic mouth parts.

Large mayfly swarms which can pose a risk to drivers come when it's mating time for them, as they form.Because of the number of flies, they can block your vision as you drive.They can cause slippery road conditions.

There is no way that Mayflies can catch, kill, or eat mosquitoes when they are fully grown and capable of flight.

In the aquatic nymph period, they are able to find free-floating or attached plant matter.This includes plants that are stuck on logs, rocks or the lake bed.

There is no scientific proof that they can eat mosquito larvae as a nymph.There isn't enough evidence that mayflies are good for mosquito control.

There are a number of things that mayflies will gravitate towards.The population in your yard or home can be reduced by controlling these two factors.

After a nymph emerges from the water as an adult with wings, they are going to fly around and look for a mate.Adult mayfly needs to find a mate quickly and breed.

After they mate, a water source accessible to them will be their top priority.Any body of water will suffice for the female to deposit her eggs.

Not everyone can do this.It is not possible to have a flowing river or giant lake.

For people with small ponds, swimming pools, or controlled bodies of water, they can do something to get rid of the water source.

You have to apply it every 12 hours to keep it effective.June bugs, stink bugs and silverfish can be pests with garlic spray.

If you notice a bunch of flies outdoors, you can spray them with a water hose.If the water pressure is strong, they are sensitive to it.You can spray directly onto the swarm.

If you have ever seen a mayfly in your fish tank as a pest, you will know that their long body allows them to wiggle through water.

Because aquarium plants are widely traded and unregulated, you may end up with mayflies hitchhiking into your fish tank and not even notice them as they are hiding most of the day.

They will hide between cracks and objects in your aquarium, even if you see them blaze across the water here and there.
