Baetidae
Baetidae is a family of mayfly, mayflies with about 1000 described species in 110 genera distributed worldwide. These are among the smallest of mayflies, adults rarely exceeding 10 mm in length excluding the two long slender tails and sometimes much smaller, and members of the family are often referred to as small mayflies or small minnow mayflies. Most species have long oval forewings with very few cross veins (see Comstock-Needham system) but the hindwings are usually very small or even absent. The males often have very large insect eye, eyes, shaped like turrets above the head (this is known as "turbinate condition"). Baetids breed in a wide range of waters from lakes and streams to ditches and even rain barrel, water butts. The nymph (biology), nymphs are strong swimmers and feed mainly on algae.

Mayflies have ancestral traits that were probably present in the first flying insects, such as long tails and Insect wing, wings that do not fold flat over the insect morphology#Abdomen, abdomen. Their immature stages are aquatic fresh water forms (called "naiads" or "nymph (biology), nymphs"), whose presence indicates a clean, unpolluted and highly oxygenated aquatic environment. They are unique among insect orders in having a fully winged terrestrial preadult stage, the sub ...
