Tonight I walked out the door to go move my car. It wasn't where I thought I had parked it. But on the way to that misremembered spot, I saw what looked like a big pile of spilled dirt.

It wasn't dirt. It was shimmering and moving and perfectly lit.

I had found a pile of bugs! I'm guessing they are new bugs, as there are macaroni-like fragments mixed in with them. Maybe they are mating? Not sure. But boy do they love that light. Plenty of other lights on this street went unmolested.

So one of these bugs, and I must apologizing for not knowing what kind of bug, has a pretty high creepy factor on its own, but thousands in one little place... ick.

shudder. gross. I had to come back and film it.

Thoroughly fascinating.

The main thought that I took away from this find was:
"I'm really glad that they really like lights. Imagine if their main desire was to swarm humans like that."
