Mayflies

(This entry is about insects, so please be careful if you don't like it.)
The other day, there was a huge outbreak of mayflies in my city. Around the bridge near my university, a large number of mayflies appeared and died in a moment. As a result, the bridge and road were covered with dead mayflies... I saw a short video on Twitter, and it was like a snow scene because white things fluttered and piled up, but it was all insects. Due to the dead bodies, it's said that a moped slipped, or walkers and bikes couldn't pass through. Just imagining the situation gives me a shudder.

What you said is fine but 'don't like them' works better here becauase insects is plural :)

Again, your original sentence is fine but this is how I would word it :)

I would use 'and' here because 'or' implies there was a choice of one or the other :)
