They live for about a year in nymphal form under water. Then they hatch and in one day have to find a mate before they die. The translucent ones have just hatched. Any that survive the night will take on their natural colors. Then they join the mating swarm the next day if they survive, then die back to the water as spinners with their wings horizontal like a resting dragonfly. They can't bite as they have no mouth for eating, also don't sting. Completely harmless.

If you have a fly rod fish little emergers before the hatch and poppers on top during. I find that black and white poppers work best on the lake.
