They're Back: Fishflies Invade Grosse Pointe

It happens every summer: Fishflies—those insects that are healthy for Lake St. Clair but often generate a healthy amount of disgust from many residents—have returned to the lights, sidewalks and storefronts of Grosse Pointe.

 

Fishflies have returned en masse to Grosse Pointe.

Residents can find the insects around lights, sidewalks and storefronts. And while fishflies are seen as a sign of a healthy Lake St. Clair, they often are met with groans and moans from residents.

Grosse Pointe Patch has put together a Storify that shows all of the reaction on Twitter and Facebook to the recent fishfly invasion.

The time they are most disgusting is when their carcasses really start to pile up around streetlights and such and they start to smell.

I understand the CIA, in Junes past, has been known to dress suspected terrorists all in white and tie them to Lake Shore Drive lamp posts at midnight until they scream for mercy and spill all their secrets. Hey, it's my idea. Don't try to steal it!
