Thursday, May 17, 2018, 4:39 PM - On Sunday evening, Monika Rösch looked into the sky in Sollentuna, Sweden and was shocked to see what appeared to be nearly a dozen 'bugnadoes' spinning into the atmosphere.
She counted at least ten insect vortices.
Rösch told The Weather Network via email she filmed the insects from inside her home.
"We live near a lake, so we're used to mosquitoes but we've never seen [insects] take that shape before," she says.
According to The Weather Channel, the insect 'tornadoes' may actually be tiny, non-biting midges that were swarming together to find mates.
Midges, or gnats, are tiny insects that make an appearance as spring temperatures start to warm.
When flying solo, the insects are practically invisible -- but they can be seen as clear as day when they swarm together in the millions.
Midges hatch in water, which would explain their presence near Rösch's lake-side home.
