Subject: Thousands of dragonflies swarm Misquamicut Beach in Rhode Island
|
It may have seemed like a swarm of locusts bringing about the end of the world, but it was actually a swarm of dragonflies that took over Misquamicut Beach in Rhode Island this weekend. Joanne Vandal, of Enfield, was on the beach when the swarm began. "It was like a black cloud and what started as a couple hundred, was thousands and thousands of them," Vandal said. Vandal said the dragonflies were suddenly everywhere, frightening some on the beach. “The little kids were terrified. They were screaming. They had no idea what was going on. I guess it was scary -- everyone else just took out their phones and was like 'what was going on?' because it was so unnatural,” she said. Vandal said the odd thing about it was that the insects were silent. “There was no sound. There was no hum and it's interesting because I mentioned that to my friend, there was no buzz, there was no hum, there was no sound, it just happened," she said. |

Wow! They are looking for mosquitoes and water per article at the link I found. They were at a nearby folk festival where many were having fun as they landed on their fingers, etc. |
