The term ‘dayfly’ refers to a type of insect belonging to the order Ephemeroptera, commonly known as mayflies. Dayflies are characterized by their short adult lifespan, typically lasting only a few hours to a day, during which they reproduce. They are often found near freshwater habitats, where their larvae, known as nymphs, live for several months to a few years underwater before emerging as adults. Dayflies are notable for their delicate wings and are an important part of the aquatic ecosystem, serving as food for fish and other animals.
