Break those fly rods out! We used to wait for a May Fly hatch when I was young, don’t fish much any more but back in the day I did.

Here at the University of Chicago, the Midway is lined with a particular kind of tree that has very plain little 1/4” blossoms. They smell a little like Juicy Fruit gum. One late afternoon/early evening, when the air was very still, I looked back over the Midway and saw that each tree had hovering above it a shifting tornado shape of minute swarming insects. They must have been attracted to the odor from those blossoms and concentrated over the trees where the odor was strongest in a sort of chemotaxis. It was almost science-fictiony weird in appearance.

I have been in Maryland twice for the 17 year cicadas that hatch along a corridor of the Baltimore-Washington Pkwy. It is like driving through a volcano..

A fishing buddy and I got caught in the Mayfly hatch on the Mississippi one year.

It quite literally blotted out the sun. I was cleaning them out of my gear for weeks afterwards.
