Takk for all den ventingen du har hatt for at vi skal få se slike fantastiske bilder. Gleder meg til jeg får sett Ørreten og Døgnflua. Den skal nytes sammen med noe godt i glasset en mørk venterkveld i Januar.

@80Chep  Takk skal du ha. Slike kommentarer er verdt all ventinga.

[MollanMedia]

Thanks to all of you, for your comments!

the egg will hatch on 2years, 30 minutes lifespan, i wonder, how do they multiply that fast if they will only live on 30 minutes???

[MollanMedia]

@princejoab

Some myflies reproduce twice a year, and some every second year. I have not found any that lives for only 30 minutes. In Norway the mayflies live from 2 days up to a week, and some even longer, due to temperature, size and spieces.

Awesome footage!!

[CloudWatcherX]

they are like dragonflies (my favorite animal) yet they live only 24 hours which is amazing to me.

Carpe Diem!

[derleineangler]

they told ya i guess.... man that is such a great piece of work !

[mzh3000]

they don`t like it when you pick them up by the wings

[RobertsDigital]

these insects are the animals with the shortest lifespan so if 1 mayfly is born today at 5 pm it will die like 5 pm. the next day.

[fluebinder]

No, thats wrong. Some mayflies can live up to one whole week. But normaly just a few days.

It depends wich specie of mayfly we talk about. Like Baetis rhodani can live up to three days.

[RobertsDigital]

fluebinder stop telling me i am wrong and stop trying to be a "Mr. Know it all"

I am not posting my opinion. I am posting information from the national gergraphic magazine. Learn not to give people a thumbs down rating until you are pretty certain about the information.

I have been a very active flyfisher for over 5 years, and i know my biology. Newspapers doesn`t always give you correct information,

Mayflies are the biggest type of may`s we have here in norway... They live 2 years hidden on the bottom of the river or lake, and then hatch, and life longer than 24 hours before they die.... Smaller species of may`s, like baetis rhodani, live in 1 year, and can hatch 2 times in one season... If they get a hot summer, they will manage a second generation

[KimNek]

Actually, that just counts for the adult stage of the mayfly. Some live for years in their larval stage before becoming a short-lived adult.

[cheesyflames]

Doesn't matter, the dam tons of eggs they lay'll hatch and swarm like crazy. Shoulda squashed that lil guy.

[Micheal0559]

some last as long as a half hour.

[Subfightr]

beautiful job

[dexter2123]

They should be called "Transformers" or "Transformers 2" in your case :-) Well done. Thanks for posting this! What kind of equipment you use for filming this (macro)?

[LadyVanDaele]

We call them "Junebugs" and "Fishflies" were I live. They don't do anything, they just swarm to the streetlights :p they're disgusting if you ask me!

[flukeheaded]

This is amazing! In tropical countries, there's no seasonal emergence cos it's warm all year round so it's pretty difficult to spot a mayfly emerging.

[luuserface]

adult males only live for like a day and dont eat! they just mate and die! whoooaaaa

[grilldress]

filmer du fra et studio av og til, eller er alt ting du "snubler" over i naturen?

[Armoan]

Hei grilldress. Alle naturopptakene er stort sett planlagte opptak med mye venting, og filmet ute i naturen.

[fallin9star]

its beautiful! my first time seeing this

[22carlton]

excellent job filming this!
