Adult dragon flies live for about a month (of course there are many species, some longer lived than others). Mayflies are very short lived. And it is important to add that it is the adult part of the cycle that is so brief; the larval stages take a whole year. Another fun fact that I always like to mention is the blueberry bee, which is capable of pollinating $20 worth of blueberries in her lifetime.
