“Never in my life have I ever saw this many bugs! Couldn’t even pump gas.”

And while it looks like something out of the Old Testament, mayflies are actually completely harmless.

Mayflies appear pretty much all over the United States, but they’re especially popular around the Great Lakes and near the Mississippi  River Basin. They hatch in May, June and July, and are only alive for about 24 hours before they die.

Wake up, have sex, die… what a life.
