Ben Winslow is a reporter with FOX 13 covering a variety of topics including government, the Great Salt Lake, vice and polygamy.

"The biting gnats have hatched on the island. No refunds due to insects."

"This is the only thing that will keep you being able to spend any quality time outside during the No-See-Um season," said Wendy Wilson, the manager at Antelope Island State Park . Antelope Island State Park posts regular — and sometimes comical —"bug reports" on the insect situation. They also like to call attention to the importance that insects play in the Great Salt Lake ecosystem and host an annual"Spider Fest" to share their love of arachnids.

"The biting gnats? They go away once it gets hot, if you get a week of hot weather," said Dr. Baxter."Avoid the biting gnats or wear a bug net or go look at the baby bison from your car right now. Once the weather gets hot? The brine flies are just cool to look at and cool to walk through. I say enjoy the bugs and give them gratitude for the birds that they feed."
