This was a few years ago but I can honestly say mayflies love pine trees. I was walking my dog by the baseball diamond in downtown Port Clinton a few years ago. I made the mistake of walking too close to the pine tree. Millions of them swarmed. I was trying to swat them out of my eyes, nose and mouth...which just made even more of them leave the tree. My dog & I were just covered from head to toe in them.
The other thing I've figured out by watching them is ...
They can hang on to a glass windshield up to approximately 50 mph. Their little butts are flailing like there is no tomorrow, but they hang on anyway. ~ Mikki from Marblehead, Ohio
