The Ordinal Mayflies. They're born, have a quick existential crisis, and then poof! They're gone.

It's like the universe is playing a cosmic game of whack-a-mole with these little insects.

At least they get to spend their brief existence flying around and having a good time.

Not to be nitpicky, but their existence is everything but brief. To stay in the metaphor, the flying around took minutes to hours as for all mempool creations, but those which settled came to stay. It's just that their proliferation appears to have come to an end.
