The Mayfly swarm a few times a year depending on the species, however its from their time of emergence in may they have their name and reputation. I was in Dromineer during such an event, and it was quite a site to see…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They are dancing with the water
\nThey are thick in the air
\nA dance of merriment, of life itself
\nYet, a dance of death was there…<\/p>\n

They danced on Lough Dergs waters
\nDance to live before they die
\nFor all we do, we are the same
\nUs mortal men, and them, they mayfly.<\/p>\n

Sure, we dee the dawn, but the dance is the same
\nTo see we are replaced
\nIt shall be like we never were
\nThat for dance of life had not a taste.<\/p>\n

To be seen, with the zest of being
\nThe one time that they appear
\nThe Mayfly today had their day
\nOn Dergs lapping waters, at Dromineer.<\/p>\n
