When I lived in Michigan, it was fishflies!!! Harmless but disgusting things and usually at the peak of their population right around 4th of July. They live for a day and then die. Then there are thousands upon thousands of fishfly carcasses forming a layer of slipperiness on the road which could easily rival the first bit of rain on a layer of oil!!! https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2023/06/22/fish-flies-metro-detroit-lakes-communities/70346589007/
my grandpa had a farm in SD, he used to dry them out and use them as milk stools
i went camping once and heard two of them arguing if they should eat me there or take me home, they decided to eat me there, seems the really big ones would take me away from them if they took me home.
once in Alaska i was filling B52’s with gas in thick fog, the fog was so thick in order to keep track of how many planes we had filled we would just count them and report the number back to the CO. we counted twenty but the CO said there were only ten planes on the tarmac, seems the other ten were mosquitos

One year our small town decided to make the fireworks last longer by firing them about 30 – 45 seconds apart. Most people gave up after 30 minutes.

If we could just breed mosquitos that exploded colorfully.

A few more like that and he’s going to need a transfusion.
