Flying insects at a party

With the sun already well on the horizon, it looks like a big spotlight that illuminates "clouds" of insects passing in front of my camera. It looks like they're gearing up for Oscar night, not caring if one of them gets a slap in the face.
I loathe mosquitoes, but this shot is too good not to comment.

Lively capture! Are you sure they aren't mayflies?

Hi Mags, I can't be sure, and I thought it might be mosquitoes, as I didn't catch any. But I consulted on wikipedia for mayflies and yes it is very likely that they are, because it corresponds to the area, behavior, vegetation, etc. Thanks for the question, I will try to check next time. I'm even going to change the title of the photo to... "flying insects at a party" !

Hi, probably they will not be common mosquitoes, which give us diseases, but in Latin region, the word mosquito is also associated with very small flying insect, and it is generalized a little when the species is not known for sure. With the Mags question I changed the title of the photo.

@antonios This is a great capture of these insects! It is very hard to capture them in focus like this.

Cool focus on the little beasties. Also like your bit of humor about the oscar slap.
