Summary edit

Description

Dense population of Ephydra hians, a brine fly that lives in huge populations at Mono Lake, California, USA

Original Caption: See that pile of coffee grounds along the lake? Actually each "particle" is a brine fly, one of the key parts of Mono lake's food chain. They don't bite or do anything annoying, but it still seems odd to willingly approach so many flies.
