You know what we need more of . . . Mayflies

Anyone who has travelled through the Beaver Valley recently or any time near the end of May has experienced this . . .

(To self) - is it getting cloudy up there - wait . . . what the . . .

But its too late. Your windshield is now completely coated in Mayfly carcasses.

This situation sucks, but what sucks even more is when you leave your windows open because of the apocalyptic heat, and the mayflies take this as an open invitation to invade your car and use it as the scene for a disgusting insect orgy. Of coure after mayflies mate, they die, leaving a carpet of dead mayflies all over the inside of your car.

The best part came after I brushed off the front seat of my car and got in. I closed the door causing the layer of spent insect bodies that had built up at the bottom of the window to be blown into my face. I was not impressed. One of my coworkers that winessed this was.

I'm still working on finding all the dead bugs in my car. I vaccuumed it out, but I know there are some still there and I'm sure that I will be finding them for weeks.

BALLS!

The good news is that tomorrow is the start of June, so in theory all the mayflies will be gone. Welcome Junebugs!
