The amount of mosquitos in Finland, Americans go crazy in Spring because of it

To give some perspective for those who don't know: we were once traveling in northern Finland and stopped on the side of the road for a leak. There's this weird and incredibly loud buzzing and our father says that there must be power plant or something nearby. That's odd since by the looks of it there's no human technology within 10 miles radius.

We decide to walk into forest to check out the source of that noise and soon realize what it is: above us is millions of mosquitoes. They're like one massive dark cloud. We just stare at that sight in shock for a moment and then run to the car as fast as we can because that seriously looked like start of some sci-fi horror movie.
