Okuyikho, Okukuhle Kanjani, Indlela Yokuziqeda
Ngonyaka ngamunye kanye nentwasahlobo, ngokuzungezile ngezimpelasonto zeholidi zeSikhumbuzo, ngoJulayi 4, noma ngosuku lwezabaSebenzi, imiphakathi yaseLleveland yahlaselwa yizimpukane ezincane ezingenabungozi ezibizwa ngokuthi i-midges. Izimbungulu zihlala kuphela ezinsukwini ezinhlanu kuya kwezingu-10, kepha izinambuzane ezinkulu ezinambuzane ezibukeka zingumangalisa izivakashi nemindeni eholidini. Izinyoni zezinyoni zingase zikhishwe izibungu, kodwa abantu, hhayi kakhulu.
Iyini iMidges?
Izinambuzane ezindala ezingamanga, eziyisishiyagalolunye kuya kwezingu-intshi zibizwa ngokuthi yiCyronomus plumosus futhi ngokuvamile, kodwa ngokungafanele, zibizwa ngokuthi amasosha aseCanada. Ama-Midge azalwa eNyakatho-mpumalanga ye-Ohio naseLake Erie . Abantu bendawo bayabiza ngokuthi "ama-muffleheads."
Izimila zikhula njengezinambuzane ezindaweni ezimanzi. Amaqanda abekwe phezu kwamanzi. Isisindo ngasinye seqanda singase sibe namaqanda angaba ngu-3 000 kuye ngokuthi yiziphi izinhlobo. Amaqanda ayancipha phansi futhi ahlasele ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ukuya kwesonto elilodwa. Izimpungushe ziphonsa odakeni noma zakha amathole amancane ahlala kuyo. Izimpungushe ziphenduka ngokubomvu uma zivuthiwe futhi zibizwa ngokuthi "ama-bloodworms." Khona-ke, ziyaphuma, zigijimela phezulu, futhi abantu abadala bayavela ukuze baxoxe nabo. Abantu abadala baphila kuze kube yizinsuku eziyisihlanu. U-Erie uphuthuma ukuya emazingeni angaba ngu-60 bese ephinde ekwindla lapho echibini lipholile.
Izinzuzo eziphakathi
Imijondolo izuzisa njengoba inikeza ukudla kwezinhlanzi ezihlukahlukene zamanzi ahlanzekile, njenge-walleye, i-perch, ne-bass, kanye nezinye izidalwa zasemanzini.
Izinyoni, njenge-swallows kanye nama-martin, nazo ziyadla.
I-Midge larvae, ngenkathi isigaba segazi, "hlambulula" imvelo yasemanzini ngokudla nokuvuselela izidakamizwa eziphilayo.
Izinambuzane Zesifo Sengqondo
Abantu abadala bangaba izinambuzane uma bevela eziningana eziningi. Zingalimaza upende, izitini, nezinye izinto ezihambayo nge-droppings yabo.
Lapho i-swarm ifa, ivame ukugoqa emanzini anesifo esiyinkimbinkimbi. Uma uzwela kubo, ungathola ukusabela okweqile.
Indlela Yokuvimbela Ukudabuka
Ama-Midge athonywa izibani ezikhanyayo ezimhlophe neziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Ukuze ugweme izimbungulu, gcina izibani kude ngangokunokwenzeka ebusuku, uphinde ufake izibani ezikhanyayo ngezibani eziphuzi, ngokuvamile ezingadonseli izinambuzane. Vala ama-shadow shades. Sebenzisa i-walkway ephansi noma ukukhanya kwezwe. Ungashisi ama-lampposts noma ama-floodlights ngaphandle uma kudingeka.
Kodwa uma sebevele beqhekekile kuwo wonke ohlangothini lwemoto noma indlu yakho, baphonsa phansi ngamanzi noma bawaxube. Ungasebenzisi amakhemikhali, asikho isidingo sokwengeza ubuthi emvelweni ngokungadingekile. Uma befa, bavame ukuhamba kuze kufike esinye isibhamu esivela echibini.
Uthi bewazi?
Izinambuzane ezincane zibizwa ngokuthi zisiza amaNdiya aseCleveland ukuba athole i-American American Championship Series 2007 lapho isikebhe singagudluli iYankees pitcher, uJoba Chamberlin, owayededwe yizindiza ezindizayo ebusweni bakhe emgodini.
Izigelekeqe ze-Midge ngoJuni noJulayi zingase zishayeke ngokwanele ukuze zibonise ngisho nase-Doppler sezulu radar, efana nobuhlungu obunjengemvula elinganiselayo.
