Classify the following case as an r-strategist or a K-strategist Mayflies are an interesting insect. Adults emerge from the water with fully formed wings but with no mouthparts. Over the course of a few days, their only goal is to find a mate and lay eggs before they die. Females can deposit thousands of eggs in the water, which sink to the bottom sediments where they hatch. Nymphs hatch from the eggs and grow and develop on their own, spending one to three years under the surface of the water until they are ready to emerge from the water as adults.
