New York City has been invaded by swarms of flying insects, identified as winged aphids, in addition to the Smoke and haze from Canadian wildfires. The bugs have become a nuisance for residents, with some covering their mouths and noses or wearing surgical masks outdoors. The swarms are unusual for this time of year, possibly due to warm winter temperatures affecting the bugs' biological clock. The city's Public Health Department assures that the insects do not pose a health risk. Despite the annoyance, some experts view the abundance of aphids as a positive sign of organic living in the city.
