It's a Bug's Life

 Sorry it has taken me so long to post.  Life here has gotten a lot busier than I had planned.  Anyways on to what I really wanted to talk about...

Have you ever wondered what the plagues in Bible were like??  Well I feel like we have been experiencing one of them here... well kind of...  We have been taken over by the Mayflies here.  I have never seen so many in my life.

They spend most of their lives as larva and only actually live as an adult for a day, basically only long enough to reproduce.

I heard the sound of Rice Krispes in milk as we walked home one night and I was wondering where the sound came from.  Then I realized it was from the cars driving over the millions of bugs on the road.  I wish I could record the sound because it is super loud (I won't describe the noise).

Here is a big pile of live ones gathered by the lights.  I was so scared I was going to get swarmed by them.

Sorry this video is sideways.  You can see all the mayflies gathered around the lights and in the air.

In this video the restaurant owner was using a blow torch to burn the bugs off his windows.  They are very difficult to get rid of.  Businesses were actually losing business because no one could get in the places with out getting stormed by the bugs.

Here is a closer view of the front of a store covered in bugs.  

I hoping we are finally to the end of all the bugs!  Anyways I hope you enjoy seeing the life of these little buggers...
