But why swarm near people when they're on a mating mission?

"The swarm is the first step, it initiates the mating process," Cloutier said.

"They're using you as a stage for this mating display."

But why? Cloutier said it's simply because a person is a tall object in a mostly flat landscape — making people sort-of lightning posts for the mating midges.

Once gathered in the swarm, the midges begin copulating — while flying.

Cloutier said the best way to avoid them is to get down as low as possible to blend into the background.

"One piece of advice is be with someone else, and just pretend to tie your shoe and they'll move over to your friend," Cloutier said.
