R u sure TrevorStaker? It's wings aren't really that fat and it doesn't have the points coming off it's abdomen

What you have there is a member of the Ephemeroptera family. In some cities around the Great Lakes, they break out the snow plows to remove all the dead mayflies, as they only live for about a day, and they all hatch and breed at the same time like a big cloud, or so I've heard!

Not sure what these are, but I've seen them frequently around lakes.

It's a lot bigger than a mosquito
