A Swarm of Something...













So tonight was pretty interesting. Erin and I went to the park as usually to do some exercise. Our usually routine is 5 laps around and then we hit up the night market for some fruit smoothies. We did this like any other night, but when we got to the market something was very different. There were these moth like insects swarming the lights like crazy. I don't just mean a few, I talking hundreds. After getting our smoothies we made our way back to where we parked the motorbike, as we did this we noticed that all the major lights were swarmed by these insects. 

When we got back to our house we didn't know what to expect. We had forgotten to leave the hall light on, so it was completely dark. As soon as we walked inside and turned on the lights, hundreds of these little bugs flocked out of our bedrooms and surrounded the light. I was totally freaked out. I've never seen anything like this before. We devised a plan to get them out of the house by turning all the lights off, except the far hall light. This seemed to immediately work, which was a tremendous relief. But still the situation was very strange. Our bedrooms were filled with 'wing' like debris left behind from the insects. It was really gross...I began sweeping it all up. There was just so much.
