Insects fill the Hunan sky: Dead and dying piled high on the road

Insects fill the Hunan sky. Dead and dying piled high on the road. Xiaoxiang Morning News reported that on the evening of September 4th, many white-winged insects appeared in Yuanzhang City, Hunan Province. These insects flew wildly in the air, not only harassing pedestrians, but also disrupting traffic. Chinese networks also spread a video showing a vast cloud of flying insects in the sky of Yuanzhang City, Hunan Province. Those who are afraid of insects should surely panic at the Liu Jingbo, head of the Plant Protection and Quarantine Station in Yuanzhang City, said that these flying insects are mayflies. They mostly appear near rivers. During this season, they gather in large numbers to mate. Xiaoxiang Morning News contacted Captain Zhao of the Xinhua Rescue Team in Yuanzhang City on September 5th, who said the rescue team received a phone call on September 4th saying that the Huangmaozhou Bridge in Yuanzhang City was congested with insects causing vehicle movement difficulties. Just like a snow and ice disaster, the carcasses of these bugs were about 10 or 20 centimeters thick, making vehicles' wheels slippery. Under the streetlights, the mayflies seemed like crazy dancing snow. A vehicle attempted to avoid the insect swarm skidding on the piles of insects on the road, leading to an accident. Locals said that the insects flying in the sky looked like moths or like snow falling from the sky. The video of running head-on into swarming mayflies went viral on Weibo, horrifying many netizens. The online newspaper quoted some netizens' comments as follows. It feels like an American horror movie. Termites in the rainy season in Xiamen also flock like this. This photo makes me want to vomit. I always feel like there is something different in the sky.
