There’s nothing like sweeping a writhing, buzzing pile away from the front doormat because people keep tracking half-mayflies onto the carpet. They also got into the air ducts and kept dropping from the ceiling at random intervals.

They don’t bite or sting but they do block windows.

Some years back I was at a gas station in the middle of the night going back home and it was COVERED in what I now suspect were mayflies. The sounds of them crunching under my car was audible as I pulled in and you couldn't step anywhere without destroying them. It smelled like a rotting swamp.

A mayfly lives for two or three years in perfect comfort but then it gets bored and grows wings in an concerned effort to make the world miserable.

No guilt, it feeds in plain sight
I know of a bridge in Minnesota that gets shut down every once in a while because of mayflies. They're attracted to the lights and will cover the entire structure, and after enough traffic the driving surface will become dangerously slick with mayfly corpses.

wikipedia posted:

Mayflies are consumed in several cultures and are estimated to contain the most raw protein content of any edible insect by dry weight. In Malawi, kungu, a paste of mayflies (Caenis kungu) and mosquitoes is made into a cake for eating. Adult mayflies are collected and eaten in many parts of China and Japan. Near Lake Victoria, Povilla mayflies are collected, dried and preserved for use in food preparations.[81]

Let another's wounds be your warning
RE: Mayflys

When i first moved to PA after many short visits back and forth from the UK, Mayfly Day was something I was not prepared for in any way that Flying Ant day could provide.

It was nowhere near as bad as that gas station, but when crossing at bridge at dusk while going 50-60mph, something I had done many, MANY times before, I was not expecting the sound nor instant darkness that occurs upon hitting a swarm of them fuckers.

It was like a thick, wet, bag of cottage cheese was thrown at my windscreen, slimy and chunky at the same time. I first was worried it would actually crack the glass, and then realised visibility had dropped to maybe 5%. Slowed down, used maybe my entire washer fluid contents to no avail. Pulled into the nearest gas station and was met with a dozen other drivers that had just done the same thing all in a queue to use the courtesy squeegee and soapy water. Only, the containers of soapy water were 3/5ths dead mayflys and associated goop, so that resulted in just smearing the mess even more.

The next day was the first time I took my car through an automatic car wash as i refused to do that poo poo by hand, even using a pressure washer i was fearful of bug splash-back.

The UK's flying ant day is nothing compared to that winged hell. The main difference being flying ants aren't restricted to mostly rural areas and will happily infest cities too, and ant bites kinda suck.

Ick at flying bitey ants. We also get “love bugs”, so named because they mate and stay stuck together until they die, 2-3 days later. They don’t bite, but they do swarm over buildings, cars, and people, and their guts eat away at paint. Local car washes will offer special heated bug gut cleaner when it’s love bug season.

Flying Ant Day

When I was a kid around the Maryland area, we'd get seasonal swarms of flying ants. The interesting part was that they were citronella ants, so when crushed they'd release a very strong odor just like that from citronella mosquito repellant. No clue whether the stuff actually repelled mosquitos, but it made accidentally stepping on one smell kind of nice.

We'd also get massive swarms of gypsy moth caterpillars. They spin big communal web sacks in the crotches of trees and venture out to eat all the drat leaves they can find. My neighborhood had a lot of trees around and if the city wasn't on top of spraying there'd be hundreds of them wobbling around in the street or grass, getting run over by cars or eaten by birds and dogs. The nests would look like thick sheets of cobweb with a mass of dark, squirming worms inside. If you were in the woods, every now and then one would fall onto your head.

No no no no no

I went to get pictures of the giant spider webs from Australia or Greece and found there was a similar phenomenon in Dallas, TX, which is only 4 hours from me. Probably less if you’re traveling via windborne web and there’s no traffic. No no no no no.
