Burrowing Mayfly is produced in the morning, is handed down that it dies in the evening, and is short-lived. Many equip abdominal both sides with piece of leaf-like gills by the aquatic life, and this friend's larva has 2-3 tails at the tip. If it ripens, he will be transformed and it will become an imago. An imago eats nothing, but even if a life is long from several hours, it is one-week grade. Usually, although the lakeside and riverside require, it may make and fly to a group on a quiet day, and, occasionally a countless thing piles up on a way or a bridge, traffic is blocked or a male has what is been like up to which death body piles up on the bottom of a light. The fossil is discovered from Permian's stratum.
