Bullhead City sits on the Colorado River right near the junction of California, Nevada and Arizona and residents take pride in their river-front properties and parks. Those calm days on the river have been disrupted as swarms of insects, called caddisflies, have invaded. The city has invested in an entomologist to study what’s really bugging the locals.
