Fact of the day: Which insect has the shortest lifespan
Mayflies, with adult lifespans ranging from a few hours to several days, exemplify extreme biological efficiency. Emerging without functional digestive systems, they rely solely on energy reserves to reproduce. Once mating and egg-laying are complete, their energy is depleted, leading to their rapid demise.
