Wiggum Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Just had a notification from my Nest camera that it had picked up movement so I reviewed the footage and the camera has picked up what looks to be a flying insect but for the life of me I have no idea what it is, does anyone know what it could be ?

Walker570 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Yes, mayfly, we are just at that time when they will be showing and they don't necessarily stay close to a stream or river. There is a village in Slovenia where about this time of year all the houses are covered in them. We stayed at a small hotel and one gable was covered in a mass of mayfly.

JDog Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 There are several ephemeral insects it could be but I doubt it is a Mayfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
