The primary function of the adult is reproduction; adults do not feed, and have only vestigial (unusable) mouthparts, while their digestive systems are filled with air. Dolania americana has the shortest lifespan of any mayfly: the adult females of the species live for less than five minutes.

The lifespan of the adult mayfly (the imago) can be as little as 5 minutes: actual length depends on species, but is severely limited by the fact that adults have vestigial mouthparts and do not feed.
However, most of the mayfly's life is spent as a juvenile nymph. The typical lifespan of a nymph is 2 to 3 years (again, depending on species)
