Angry Greenflies

I washed the wagon this morning, drove 5 miles into the next village and the windscreen and front of the car was covered in the tiny green critters
And I never went over 90

Since last Thursday there have been millions of the little blighters around work. Go outside and walk anywhere and you get covered in them.

And they sting.

Anyone know where they've all come from?

they don't sting!

they tend to live on trees like lime and sycamore - it's the time of year for 'em.

When a 30mph northerly wind is blowing them onto your earlobe, they do sting, too!

They seem to have all hatched on the same day this year, like Mayflies. Never noticed it before.
