RM2C660NB–Shortly after the first one of them hatched from the water surface more and more subadult male long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) reach the nearby vegetation and moult into mature animals. They leave their old skins attached to the leafs looking like pale ghosts of the mayflies.
RM2C660Y9–The first mature male long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are flying over the Tisza River searching for the females that are about to hatch half an hour later than the males. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.
RM2C660Y5–The first mature male long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are flying over the Tisza River searching for the females that are about to hatch half an hour later than the males. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.
RM2C66033–Immediately after hatching from their aquatic larval skin the subadult male long-tailed mayfly (Palingenia longicauda) flies towards the river bank to land on a leaf. Here it will undergo its last moult, before it is going to mate and dy, all within only a few hours. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.
RM2C66034–Immediately after hatching from their aquatic larval skin the subadult male long-tailed mayfly (Palingenia longicauda) flies towards the river bank to land on a leaf. Here it will undergo its last moult, before it is going to mate and dy, all within only a few hours. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.
RM2C65Y52–About half an hour after the male long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) hatched the first females appear on the water surface. Unlike the males the female long-tailed mayflies are already mature when they emerge. Every female is approached by several mature males. Eventually the female mates with one of them on the water surface. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.
RM2C6602J–Immediately after hatching from their aquatic larval skin the subadult male long-tailed mayfly (Palingenia longicauda) flies towards the river bank to land on a leaf. Here it will undergo its last moult, before it is going to mate and dy, all within only a few hours. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.
RM2C66037–Immediately after landing in the vegetation of the river bank the male long-tailed mayfly (Palingenia longicauda) starts to undergoes its last moult. The old skin opens at the back of the animal and will be left behind on the leaf looking like a pale ghost of the fly. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.
RM2C65Y5J–About a minute after landing in the vegetation of the river bank the male long-tailed mayfly (Palingenia longicauda) starts to undergoes its last moult. The old skin opens at the back of the animal and will be left behind on the leaf looking like a pale ghost of the fly. Tisza blooming (Tiszavirágzás). It is when millions of long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) are rising in huge clouds, reproduce, and perish, all in just a few hours.
RM2C6602T–Just three hours after they hatched from the water and moulted into a mature animal, the male long-tailed mayflies (Palingenia longicauda) perish. During theit aquatic larval stages they gathered enough energy to power this short airborne life with the single aim of reproduction.
