The Danish Mayfly was selected Friday by an international group of entomologists and others as the Insect of the Year for 2021, but it won't have long to celebrate its 15 minutes of fame.
With no mouth parts nor a functioning intestine, the fully developed mayfly has only a few days then to mate and lay new eggs before it dies.
TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: bug

Personally, I would’ve voted for Dr. Fake-shi as Insect of the Year. The Praying Mantis of Doomsville.

If I were a murder hornet, I’d demand a recount or else someone is going to get stung.
