The Mayflies have returned! You can't walk down the street or take your dog out in the yard without getting swarmed. They say these things live in the water for a year and then when they hatch they live anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. They can be really annoying but supposedly they are a big part of the food chain for the walleye and other fish here in Lake Erie. There's 630 different species of mayflies in North America and over 2500 worldwide. I think I'll try to get out and get some other photos of the mass gatherings and I'll post a link.
