Ephemera
Mayflies
bear a Greek name meaning living a day,
An
allusion to their dance before they die
After
maturing in the month of May.
Mayflies
bear a Greek name meaning living a day
And
start as water nymphs that grow to fly
Only
to die after mating--a last hooray.
Mayflies
bear a Greek name meaning living a day,
An
allusion to their dance before they die.
