@WizardOfDocs @ShaulaEvans No, that's the thing that makes it so weird. Their winged adult forms are all also super short-lived.

Hey, Fedi. Help me help a friend.@ShaulaEvans Incredibly, there is a single group of insects which have a winged instar before adulthood. And strangely enough, it’s the mayflies. They molt into a winged form, which lives for a few minutes to a couple of days, which _then_ molts into the sexually mature adult form.
