Ephoron virgo and Caenis robusta mayflies are attracted less to vertically polarized than to unpolarized light.
- ss="label">•
Both species were attracted more to horizontally polarized than to unpolarized light.

This polarotactic behaviour helps mayflies to avoid unsuitable habitats.
- ss="label">•
The attractiveness of mayflies to differently polarized light depends on intensity and species.

The mirror image of riparian vegetation reflects weakly and non-horizontally polarized light.

These may facilitate the stability of mayfly swarming above water surfaces.
