I'm admiring the incredible longevity of a small swarm of insects (gnats?) that have been in the same place for the past decade or more. There are probably two or three hundred individuals that collect in a sphere about the size of a basketball about six feet above the ground next to a sidewalk by one building where I work. There has been such a colony in the exact same spot (to within ten feet) at least since the late 1990's. I walk a lot and I don't recall ever encountering guys like these anywhere else in my travels in the Houston area. I presume their life spans are short. So to see one colony of these guys for that long and nowhere else is quite curious. The stuff you think about when you don't want to think about w***!
