Mayfly Sites

Many sites in the federation come and go all too briefly. Most authors come to have a look around, try out creating a few pages, and while intrigued never come back - leaving the federation littered with the corpses of dead sites. Like the Mayfly, most sites have a very brief life.

# A brief cultural history of the mayfly

In his 1789 book ''The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne'', Gilbert White described in the entry for "June 10th, 1771" how

The mayfly has come to symbolise the transitoriness and brevity of life. The English poet George Crabbe, known to have been interested in insects, compared the brief life of a newspaper with that of mayflies, both being known as "Ephemera", things that live for a day: > Like insects waking to th' advancing spring; > Which take their rise from grubs obscene that lie > In shallow pools, or thence ascend the sky: > Such are these base ephemeras, so born > To die before the next revolving morn. > George Crabbe, "The Newspaper", 1785}}

Another literary reference to mayflies is seen in ''Epic of Gilgamesh'', one of the earliest surviving great works of literature. The briefness of Gilgamesh's life is compared to that of the adult mayfly.
