No we are in Toledo, Ohio, near Lake Erie. They hatch and come in from Lake
Erie, live for a day, mate, then die the next day. We never had ANY this far
in, (in the city), but it is an infestation! Never saw anything like it in
all my 98 years!
(Oh. O.K., I'm not really 98, but I thought it would add dramatic impact. I
don't think there has been anything remotely like this in over 100 years
though).
