Default By the thousands

I agree it's an invasion! These little bugs are in my pool by the thousands! They land on the cage roof screen and the rain pushed them into the pool and on the deck. We have seen a few in the house. They are harmless and die quickly. Can't swim in the pool until they go away. Just too many to get out. I remember them from last year. They are just pesky!!

They are called blind mosquitos. They don't bite but are annoying. In Mt Dora a feed years ago they were so bad they had to shovel them up. They like white cars, that I know for fact.

We drove on the turnpike yesterday and our windshield was covered with them. When we arrived home, they were swarming in the driveway. I drove around in the rain to get them off. I've never seen bugs that bad, not even love bugs.
