Mayfly’s World

By Joy Gutschlag

“Hi I am a mayfly and I live in creeks, rivers, lakes. I have gills on the side of my body which wakes water come in and out of my mouth. My diet is algae. When I want to go under another rock I swim in a squirmy way. When I’m older I will fly and live on land. My normal day is just sleeping, eating, staying on my rock, and waiting. There are other animals in my stream like caddis, stonefly, and dobsonfly. I live in Poor Man’s Stream which is a pretty nice place to live. I am the colour deep dark brown, and I have three striped tails. “WOW Whats Happening? SOMEONES PICKING ME UP!!!
