Videos capturing the phenomenon were shared on social media, with many of them going absolutely viral.

For those with entomophobia (fear of insects), this must not have been their favourite day at the beach.

According to entomologists, dragonflies migrate from as early as June through October. “Large groups will move south from Canada and the northern U.S. to Mexico and the Gulf coast. As they migrate, they will frequently stop to feed, and the journey can take several weeks.

Some social media users have responded by likening it to the Plague of Locusts described in the Old Testament.

Police Reports Are Now Just A Click Away

Jul 29 2024

The police have introduced a new online service through the Remote Reporting Unit (RRU), allowing individuals to file police reports from home. Announced on Monday, this service lets users fill out an online form to directly communicate with a police officer.

Users can provide report details by visiting the designated website, where they can select a preferred date and time for a follow-up from a police officer. Communication options include WhatsApp, Google Meet, FaceTime, Teams, or a phone call.

This online service covers non-urgent reports such as lost items and property damage. Once submitted, the report is registered in the police database, and a copy is emailed to the user.

The police emphasize that emergencies should still be reported by calling 112 or 119. Physical report submissions at police stations remain available for those who prefer them.
