A Little Buggy
Harmless but abundant, may flies are native to the Lake Seminole area. Their presence is an indicator of good water quality. They appear in swarms. They do
not bite, but swarms can be so thick they can impede breathing.
One night the Corps of Engineers got a call from a campground where may flies were clustering around an electric light. Campers complained that the odor from dead flies was bothersome. When Corps workers got to the site, they found a pile of expired flies three-feet deep that had to be hauled away with a front loader.
