The Ark

Whatever floats your boat...

Mayflies live under water as larvae for a year before finally hatching out with new wings and ascending into the air in a sexual frenzy to mate before falling back into the water within 18 hours to become fish food. It's a short life but
what a way to go !

Frenzy or not, as Jacqueline Susann said, Once Is Not Enough!

 

Great timing, though. Like catching the bloom of a century plant.

You always capture the most interesting things.
