The adult mayfly lives one day and is intended to reproduce. The adults do not eat and have no body parts for feeding or digestion. The mayfly larvae are aquatic macroinvertebrates that require pretty clean water. Almost all of the mayfly lifespan is spent in this stage.

Mayfly's do not eat as adult. The nymphs feed on algae and various other aquatic plants. for more info look up ephemeraptera.
