What is it with the Coachella Valley and tiny swarms of bugs lately?

Residents from Palm Springs and other cities complained on social media about tiny brown bugs crawling all over their cars, pools and other surfaces Monday. Reports say the bugs are believed to have come from the Salton Sea.

Water boatmen bugs, also known as corixids, are slender, oval water bugs that swim with long legs that have fine hairs.

They can be easily confused with backswimmer bugs, which deliver painful bites.

According to the Missouri Department of Conservation website "Water Boatmen bugs are one of the few aquatic members of this (bug) order that are not predaceous and do not bite people."

Earlier this year, Palm Springs was swept up by a large presence of the charcoal seed bug. Bright porch lights and other fixtures around town surrounded by the thousands of tiny bugs.

Like those, the water boatmen will disappear on their own soon enough.
