Night Bugs

I didn't do a bug walk today for a number of reasons, but they can be more or less summed up as I am lazy and didn't want to. This time of year it's the same bugs all the time, and I didn't want to do it at the time available to me, so... I bailed. I figured it was too cold outside to find anything other than those few things that have been around lately. But I realized later that it was probably warmer outside than I thought. I went out this evening, and when I came home, I was surprised to see that a lot of bugs were swarming around the porch light. It was 38ºF at the time, but my guess is that it was pretty mild in the afternoon, and that's why the bugs were still out and active.

There were two kinds of insects on the porch:
 Midges

Winter crane flies
