    Those things are everywhere this year, they start flying right before sunset and they are large enough to wake me up when they hit my windows.

      Ah, so the European version of the June bug. America (especially the south) is swarmed by tons of these every year:

      In certain areas, there will be thousands of them. They’re stupid flyers and just sort of bounce off of everything. It’s pretty common for your porch lights to be swarmed by a dozen of them every evening.

      My friends and I joke that they’re the reason to wear protective gear when riding motorcycles. Running into a June bug at 70 MPH feels like getting shot with a paintball, and you’ll probably run into several during your ride.

        This is how you recognize a friendly motorist, by the number of june bugs between his teeth
