Zack Lemann of the Audubon Insectarium says he's seeing more of the bugs than he's ever seen in years past. Lemann says there are several circumstances that could be behind the population boom. Mayflies only live for a few hours. Lemann says that's just enough time for them to lay their eggs

Holy crap. My friend just told me about this today. There's some biblical plague-type stuff going on in her neighborhood. There's been swarms of thousands of mayflies covering my store since yesterday morning. She had to wash her home multiple times already. I wonder if this was caused by the recent flooding from all the rain during hurricane season.

There is most probably a very rational explanation to this type of invasion, but it sure
does feel apocalyptic, especially with everything going on lately..
