Ok...it's September and walking across the bridge today, what do I spy but Mayflies...lots of Mayflies....millions of Mayflies...just look at them attached to the bridge. Actually I looked it up and Mayflies hatch in either spring or fall, so I should be so surprised at this. They are annoying little flying things and they attract all kinds of birds who eat them. I looked it up and Mayflies only live a very little time, like 24 hours but they are baby bugs for almost a year. The eggs are laid in bodies of water (hence the bridge) and go through all the bug stages until they become adults. That's when they flock together (on the bridge) to make more baby Mayflies....they're really cool to look at but there way to many of them!
