Mayfly

Ephemeroptera

Description:

Mayfly for ID If i have got it right, Mayflies are the only insects which molt even after developing wings. They are aquatic insects whose immature stage (called "naiad" or, colloquially, "nymph") usually lasts one year in freshwater. The adults are short-lived, from a few minutes to a few days depending on the species and hence have no mouth parts developed.. - Wiki :-)

Habitat:

This one was found near a coffee plantation.
