I cycle along the Dodder and this happens every year. Sometimes a bit earlier in the year. I'm guessing its some kind of massive greenfly mating orgy. Youll see them for about another 2 weeks i'd say and then its back to the annoying midges.

Was out for a spin on Monday night myself and got covered in them... swallowed about half a million of them too while going through one area, tasty little gits... i love summer but the midgets/greenfly and the serious amount of webs on the house really grinds my gears!!!

On the short hop form Portobello into the library in Trinity I managed to get absolutely covered in them without realising (didnt swallow and thank god). When I arrived in the all took off and have been having the craic in the library ever since!

I can report they are rather heavy along the banks of the grand canal this am.

BTW when did that blasted iron fence go up before the Kylemore road bridge? Cost me a good 10-15 minute detour into work.

Noticed these for the last week, got particularly bad yesterday. The rain kept them at bay this morning somewhat, but damn, they're really bloody annoying.

My sun glasses are taking the brunt of them so I've never been so happy to have them on! Thankfully I haven't swallowed any YET! But with the amount around I'm sure it won't be long. Better than the midges at least, I seem to be their favourite food

Inhaled a load of the little green bastards this morning on the N11, more of a texture than a taste!

Wearing Aviators in the morning, or maybe the trusty old S10 would be best...

yup - there's more eating than breathing in the air along the canal at the moment

It is very important to keep your glasses on and your mouth closed when going down stocking lane atm.
