They basically turn upside down and flitter around in circles until they die all the way.
I know it sounds weird, but when you start looking at them SUPER up close, you can tell there's just something more than meets the eye.

Wow, that's some intense observation. Annie's patience game is Miyagi-level strong.

They're like... beautiful creatures.

I totally read that a second time in Skinny Pete's voice... in my head. Harr. **shoutout to Charles Baker**

Yeah you know the thing is, if you look for images with the words "gnat up close"...

The pics don't do it justice...

You don't see it that way with the human eye...

I think the way we see it with our eyes just staring at it up close is the real truth.

If you've ever been in the forest just before dark when the fireflies start blinking and hovering all around, their white light appears otherworldly, flashing on and off... like a cloak of invisibility. The other day I was watching the fluff and dust floating around my living room, reflected through the morning sunlight, however some of it was moving in a way similar to the fireflies...

Then I was out and about, decided to see a movie and was attracted to watch 47 Metres Down because the sea floaters in the movie poster looked uncannily similar to the dust particles I saw earlier in the day.

There could be a message from the faeries in that movie but I’m not exactly sure what that is.

I was noticing the same similarities when I was driving through some leaves that were falling off trees en masse due to this very cold snap we experienced in my area.

We're running around out here in a sea and just like ocean creatures probably don't really see or notice the water, neither do we.

The atmosphere is the surface of our ocean.

Every time I see a gnat, I call it a fairy in mind instead...

GET OUT MAH FUCKIN FACE YOU FAIRY MOFO

BOUT TO GET DELT WITH

I think the best approach when one of them repeatedly flies too close to your face is to open your mouth and just suck it in.

I'ma get him next time.
