gas station bugs
Driving home from San Diego last night was memorable. 100 miles north of Los Angles on interstate 5, I stopped in at a gas station and found this awesome swarm of insects. There were about 4-6 separate swarms. The insects were harmles and were dying by the hundreds per second. I don’t know why they were dying, I assume it was the end of their life cycle. I am not sure if there were 5,000 or 50,000 insects, but there were a lot. Although the swarms were huge, they were quiet. I asked Hayley to get into the center of a swarm for a picture.
Equipment used – Canon 5D, 7D, Canon 24mm, Canon 100mm macro, Canon 65mm MP-E, MT 24-EX flash

they look like water boatman to me, no idea they swarmed like that looks crazy, Hayley seems really enamored with standing amongst them.
