I hate these goddamn bugs. They always fly around here in May and are very gross sounding. I hate listening to them fly. I hate listening to the sound they make when they hit screens.
And just as soon as these damn things go away, we get swarms of these in June:
Yes, I discovered that these things existed in my late teens, because the zebra mussels in Lake Erie had the side effect of filtering all the industrial pollution out of the Great Lakes and making them super clean...so these things came back after a few decade hiatus. They swarm, they have sex, they die and leave a smelly, fishy mess everywhere, and then their eggs create larvae that take 17 years to turn into those damn things again.
