According to a play my high school put on a few years ago in which two mayflies have a decidedly brief tryst (it's a bit hazy now), it's about 24 hours. Yeah, I guess I went to a pretty wacky school.
The poetic ephemeral means lasting for a short time, and the mayfly has a very short life span, thus the connection.
What a beautifully expressive word for a mayfly.
