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.
