The nightmare

It's a swarm, probably caddisflies. Fortunately, it only looks scary, but it's safe. Insects, after emerging from the water, have mating flights over the water.

Thought they were midges or mosquitos as first glance! Glad they are just caddis flies.

This shot does have a bit of an eerie feel to it. I love the colour tones and the reflections! Fav

I'll bet the fish are in seventh heaven with the insects and larvae.
