Your eyes are bigger than your belly ...

In most cases, that saying is untrue. As it is in this case too! Though this minute mayfly looks like it has got enormous eyes, they are in fact, not eyes. If you look closely, you can see its eyes underneath. I actually have no idea what they are. Maybe some kind of weird antennae for sensing the opposite sex or simply something to attract a mate ... the bigger and brighter the better. Just a guess.
