After mayfly eggs are laid, they hatch within usually 2 or 3 weeks and start the next cycle as nymphs. There are four basic types of mayfly nymphs - the burrowers, swimmers, clingers and crawlers. Each type has their own particular habitat and behavior. We have discussed the habitat and the behavior of the swimmer, the crawler and the burrower nymphs in the previous blogs. Now we will discuss the mayfly clinger nymphs.

After mayfly eggs are laid, they hatch within usually 2 or 3 weeks and start the next cycle as nymphs. The nymphs are covered by hard exoskeletons and are the underwater stages of the mayfly’s life cycle. They can live in the nymph stage for as long as 3 months and even up to a year in some species, during which time they are growing. As they get larger, they grow a new exoskeleton underneath the old and shed the old smaller exoskeleton which has become too small to house them. This process is called a molt or instar.
