Top 10 Short life (Small lifespan) animals/insects/plants

Mayfly:

These are aquatic insects.The lifespan of an adult mayfly can vary from just 30 minutes to one day depending on the species.The primary function of the adult mayfly is reproduction.About 2500 species of mayfly are known worldwide.

Gastrotrichs:

These are a phylum of microscopic (0.06-3.0 mm) animals abundant in fresh water and marine environments.The average life span of a gastrotrich is about three days.

Arabidopsis thaliana :

It is a small flowering plant native to Europe, Asia, and northwestern Africa.Arabidopsis can complete its entire life cycle in six weeks.

Male Ants:

The winged male ants, called drones, emerge from pupae along with the breeding females and do nothing in life except eat and mate.During the short breeding period, the reproductives, excluding the colony queen, are carried outside where other colonies of similar species are doing the same. Then, all the winged breeding ants take flight. Mating occurs in flight and the males die shortly afterwards.Mated females then seek a suitable place to begin a colony.

These male ants are more transitory, and survive only a few weeks.

Dragonfly:

A dragonfly is a type of insect.Dragonflies are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands.Most of a dragonfly's life is spent in the larvae.The larval stage of large dragonflies may last as long as five years.The adult stage of larger species of dragonfly can last as long as four months.

Therefore we can say it catually lives its life for four months.

Brine shrimp:

Brine shrimp are a species of aquatic crustaceans.They are found worldwide in inland saltwater lakes, but not in oceans.Brine shrimp have a biological life cycle of 1 year.

Worker bee :

It is a female bee that lacks the full reproductive capacity of the colony's queen bee. The worker bees keep the hive temperature uniform in the critical brood area (where new bees are raised). Worker bees gather pollen which they stick to combs in their back legs, to carry back to the hive where it

is used as food for the developing brood.It is estimated that They have a lifespan of 1 year.

Worker ants:

They enlarge the nest, forage for food and care for the other eggs.Workers generally live from 1 to 3 years.

Mosquitofish:

It is species of fresh water fish.These smallsize fish are native to watershed of gulf of mexico.The lifespan of these may vary from 2-3 years.

The last plced is shared by many like American Newt, Anole.
