June is soon here - and insects (8)

I believe the answer is:

mayflies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'june is soon' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'here and insects' is the wordplay.
'here' becomes 'may' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'insects' becomes 'flies' (fly is a kind of insect).
'may'+'flies'='MAYFLIES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for mayflies that I've seen is " Short-lived insects".)
