They're daddy-long-legs / crane flies. Mayflies hatch from water:

caddis fly, the grubs make a protective jacket of débris and carry

and
bits of shell.

Some people call caddis "mayflies", but it would mislead a fisherman.


Caddis flies = mayflies.


Not to biologists :-) Caddis flies are members of the Order Trichoptera;
mayflies are Ephemeroptera. Quite different.
