Sometime around the middle of May and lasting through June and into July, there is a plague of insects that strikes the cities, towns, and villages along Lake Erie's shoreline and the islands. Fortunately, this insect is totally harmless... unless you are sliding on them in your car. They are drawn to any light source - coating the sides of buildings and telephone poles. The main problem... they stink like dead fish! What am I talking about, you ask? The now famous Mayflies of Lake Erie! Visit our website www.MayflyNews.net for info on our favorite winged wonders. Learn mayfly history, read stories from site visitors and purchase mayfly apparel and gifts! We invite everyone from the US and Canadian sides of Lake Erie to join and welcome you to post sightings and photos of mayflies in your area.
