No, you are not “bugging-out.” A swarm of insects has seemingly taken over the city.

Complaints started Wednesday evening, of clouds of small gnat-like insects. By Thursday, the insects were a hotter topic than the smoke from the Canadian wildfires.

WHAT ARE THESE MINUSCULE WHITE FLIES ALL OVER BROOKLYN?! Not the best video- they’re much more obvious inperson. Literally can’t even open your mouth when walking. I’m not “nature-inclined” lol so forgive me if I should know what these are. Someone tell me more.🤬 #NYC #BK #bugs pic.twitter.com/5d4Grw4tuD

The insects -or bugs- appeared around much of Manhattan and Brooklyn just before dark.

By many accounts, the bugs appear green, although they are hard to see with the naked eye.

Some even went so far to compare the bugs to the biblical plagues.

At this time, it is not clear what these bugs are or where they came from.

Whatever they are, the only thing that is clear: they are nuisance.
