Pond mayflies egg laying in my pond in August. I have tried "rescuing" them in the past but they jump straight back in.

They die after laying their eggs.

Really I thought that fake mayflies were used as bait.

Nice photos by the way.

Thanks :)-- These are only about 10mm body length and my koi are around 60cms long. Yes mayflies are used for trout bait but the river types are a lot bigger.

I didn't know that there was such a big difference, thanks for that.
