This is the bizarre moment a swarm of bugs hovered over road markings in a rare phenomenon in China.

Ms Zhao and her family were navigating a highway when they encountered a colony of midges flying over the road in Zhangjiakou, Hebei.

Dashcam footage shows the insects lining up on the white surface markings on the pavement on May 12.

Wildlife experts said the behaviour occurs when the insects gather over specific visual markers or contrasting features in their environment. This is often influenced by mating rituals, environmental cues, and their natural instincts to aggregate in groups.
