PHDID YOU KNOW? 
The shortest living animal in the world is the Mayfly. Its entire ãdül† lifespan is just 24hrs.
The lifespan of a fly is short no matter what species you’re talking about, but the mayfly puts even the average lifespan of a fly to shame. These insects are the shortest living animals on the planet, as the ãdül† lifespan of a fly from this species is only 24 hours.
It’s a phase of life in which mating is the sole priority, and these insects don’t even develop mouths in their final form since they don’t have enough time to prioritize eating. But it’s a tactic that’s worked, as the mayfly is recognized as the oldest flying insect species still alive.
