Title: Swarming bugs - what are they?
Post by: Shortsighted on August 24, 2025, 10:19:53 AM

There was a cloud of insects swarming above a cluster of trees on Beare Hill and I don't know what they are.  Any opinions?  If they weren't such a chaotic lot, then they could display murmuration.  Get some discipline into those bugs!
