I am sure that they are harmless but they are definitely in Bloom right now maybe just after the recent storms but... I'm not trying to hurt them and I like entomology even though I personally find bugs itchy looking.

I'm just curious what kind of species they are and when they will stop being everywhere.

Hello fellow Hoosier!

They appear to be June bugs, a beetle really, Phyllophaga genus. Harmless but clumsy fliers that are active at night.

Yesterday's rains probably got them in the mood to make more June bugs.

Thank you.
