you post the greatest pictures, warren. seeing this one, i am reminded of
early mornings, while living in port huron mi., that i would head to the
beach, and have to gingerly step in between the mayflies that covered the
beach and parking lot like a blanket. any ya'll know the story behind
this
behavior. many of them were dead, or appeared to be dying.

Yeah, sure. Many mayflies live less than 24 hours after emerging as adults.
They mate first if they're lucky.
