Mayfly

Short lived As a moment Merely a day The flutter of wings Under a blue sky, Time only to copulate Fertilize the eggs And then die, The lifespan Of a Green Drake Mayfly. W.A CHOLT. Copyright Fergal O Reilly.2019. 25th April 2019.

The female lasts only 5 minutes after it emerges from the water...a fine trout appetizer! Nice one W.A.
