I believe so. You can see how they emerge from the waterway separating those counties. I don't know why NOAA would go to any trouble to make up something like this.

Have you guys ever driven through a giant mayfly hatch? It's at least as dense as a driving rainstorm...
The windshield wipers have NO chance of keeping up.

I don't think they were mayflies, but I drove through about 3-4 miles of thick, flying invertebrates about a week ago.
There were so many, it actually sounded like rain on the windshield.

In late summer I try and have a can of PAM with me to spray on the truck. Lovebugs from Houston to Lake Charles will ruin a vehicle. Also have an extra gallon of windshield washer fluid handy.

Did you guys know a good Mayfly hatch is a sign of good water quality?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

burger Never heard of that one! Do you spray it on the paint, hood etc.? A few times a year, crossing the Nueces River north of Corpus C they are thick enough, it's straight to the car wash.

There are dozens if not hundreds of species of mayflies. I bet the biggest ones could make a mess of your car.

It seemed like 'normal' conversation to me. Sorry for saying lovebugs. I meant flying love invertebrates. You spray the PAM on the grill and hood. Afterwards, to the car wash. Beats scrubbing with baking soda. But, I usually remember too late. Maybe the Louisianans can give a 'love bug watch' this summer.

Up North, we use WD40 instead of PAM. Even though it makes the fried eggs taste funny.
