PESTS — Midges swarm the side of a building in downtown Cleveland on May 9, 2012. The harmless flying insects have lifespans of approximately five to 10 days and amass in the city each spring when Lake Erie warms to about 60 degrees. The pests return in the fall when the lake cools to roughly the same temperature. Photo by Brandon Blackwell @CapturedCLE
