Mayfly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayfly)

Used to be a nuisance around the gas pumps and street lights every summer when I lived in Pa. They don't bite or anything, but they swarm around the lights and are just generally disgusting. Thousands and thousands of them, EVERYWHERE.

Glad they aren't such an issue here in the South.

One summer in the 80s during high school we went far north and very deep in Canada's wilderness and during one hike we got swarmed with those things!
