I have never seen them earlier than the end of May before. I hate them - so I am hoping that if they start early - they will end early. Global warming?

Better than waking up with a roach on your pillow.

LOL - just barely. June bugs freak me out worse than roaches (and that's saying something). They just seem so eratic. A roach will run away. The june bug flies straight at you - not in attack - just because they will go any direction.

Default Harmless

They make tasty snacks for the geckos and snakes in the yard. 'Funny how adults learn to fear them. All my kids played with them when they were young, even the girls. My son used to collect them, and sometimes would freak my wife out because she would find some in his pockets, alive! Sometimes my kids would have two, or three in their hands and trade them like marbles. My eldest daughter now fears them... she learned that from her mother.

I back up to a very large run off retention pond and the back of my house is black from what I am being told are called Lake Flies. Have no idea if anything can be done?
