The swarm

Tonight at the dog park, I looked across the field that lay before me and it appeared to be swimming. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that individual blades of grass were moving, but not all of them. This was weird in and of itself for a few reasons, not the least of which was that there wasn't even a trace of a breeze. When I discovered what was making the grass move, I was horrified. Internet, I couldn't make this up: hundreds, maybe even thousands, of fat black mosquitoes were swarming around in the grass. WELCOME TO FLORIDA. WE HOPE YOU'RE INOCULATED AGAINST WEST NILE VIRUS. HAVE A NICE DAY.
