Midge invasion at the lake this June 2025.
Clouds of midges arrived en masse and created piles of midges on the decks and in between the screens and windows when windows left open. Made it very unpleasant to be outside and had to dust Charlie off when he came into the house.
So far we've only seen the midges at the Lakehouse and not the cabin.
First noticed the invasion when we woke up on June 10. Will try to update the blog when the invasion is finished.
Update- The invasion of clouds around our house only lasted two days but midges are still about. Today, June 16, we were swarmed on the sailboat.
Apparently these non-biting midges adults only live a few days
and die shortly after mating.
It is said to be a sign of a healthy lake ecosystem.
