We had some rain a few weeks back and all of the sudden we were bombarded with something we had never experienced before, midges. Like what?! Swarms of them everywhere. Do not go out in the evening or night. Do not leave any lights on outside. Close your windows and do not turn on your a/c window unit. We did that and when I walked into Studio B the next day, it was covered in midge corpses everywhere. I mean everywhere. So gross. Turns out the a/c unit was sucking them in and pouring them into the studio. Ugh. We're waiting them out and hoping they go away soon.

We've lived out here for going on four years. We'd never seen anything like that before. They don't bite, but they swarm and get into everything. It's a gross annoyance. I get that bugs need to do what bugs need to do, but can't they do that somewhere else? Geez.

LOL. You're probably not wrong. Maybe they were on sabbatical for the last four years? Or maybe this is their big midge family reunion. Who knows. At this stage, anything is possible.

I totally get it how they r annoying though. Imagine a non harmful bug fly and just touches your ear... no bites nothing, just a touch

it can be annoying, I won't like to have them around but I also do understand we (Humans) r everywhere so it's just nature being nature....

Agreed. We live in the countryside and so we're pretty accustomed to deer, fox, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, wild boars, packs of wild dogs, snakes, lizards, vultures, predator birds, and all sorts of lovely colorful birds, and yes all manner of bugs.

And you are so right, we humans are everywhere. So in the big picture a few weeks of dealing with them as they live their short and frenzied life is not really a big deal. I think the big thing was that they were unexpected. So our entire area was surprised. However, now that they've made an appearance, if we see them again at this same time next year, we will now know what to do and how long their season lasts. It's the ebb and flow of life.
