Amazing video. Hard to imagine such a small insect could hold so many eggs.

That is an awesome video. Thanks for sharing. If Youtube had been around in the 60's I might have been a better biology student.

WOW - I never knew the eggs "hatched" the nymphs so quickly. That was pretty amazing!

Thanks for posting this amazing video of an unusual Mayfly.

The thought that came to mind when the eggs started to hatching that they looked like dragonfly nymph food. I would not be surprised if larger mayfly nymphs aren't cannibals.
