Bugmageddon is a term used by those who live in some rural areas of Ontario, Canada. Folks experience multiple over lapping life cycles of flying insects from May until August every year. Bugmageddon hits the North Hastings area of Ontario, Canada in the second week of May every Spring. It begins with black flies, then a form of midge called no-seeums, on to mosquitoes, deer flies, horse flies and usually several successive seasons of black flies and mosquitoes.

The areas where the flying insects swarm the most are the deep bush, especially cedar groves and bogs or swamps. Local residents will often be seen wearing bug jackets while doing their gardening during black fly season which runs into June every summer.
