Mayflies have one of the shortest life-spans of any insect, with some varieties living only thirty minutes or so. Most of that time, I presume, is spent looking for a mate, so these two horology-minded guys probably are goners when it comes to the gene pool.
The transit of Venus was sort of cool though. I couldn't see much, but it's a good conversation piece. I've been telling all of my friends that I saw it.
I always like things like this one. About short lived creatures interpreting their surroundings differently that is.
ReplyDeleteA shame they didn't catch an hour. You know, when it goes "DONG!" That would have been more exciting for them
