That's a lot of moths...

Article is in French but video is silent so you can still take a look and see the masses of dead moths.

I don't have a fear of or revulsion towards insects, but damn! That would freak me out.

It's nothing a lighter and a can of butane can't handle.

Woah that's insane.

Imagine getting to your car in the morning and seeing that many on it lol. Time to break out the hose!

I've seen the equivalent of that in gypsy moth (I think) moths when I was a kid. There was a store down the block - because they left lights on, the entire store was covered about 2 nights a year for a couple of years - you couldn't see the windows at all.

But, I've seen far, far worse near water when there's a major hatch. One year my wife and I were out in a secluded bay, doing some fishing after dark. We started hearing a hum that got louder and louder. Could not figure out where the hell it was coming from - it was coming from everywhere. Finally, grabbed a flashlight and aimed it upward. You know how when it's foggy out and your beam extends into the fog? The beam vanished within several feet - thicker than fog with bugs. Got the hell out of there. Turning on the anchor light and navigation lights sucked - started drawing them in.

That looks like cricket fest that you can see everyone now and then in central texas. It literally fills the sky at night as they swarm to the lights.

I would much rather have moths than crickets.

I hate moths....one of the most useless insects.

The others on my list are flies and mosquitos. I don't mind spinders because of the cleanup they do, but I wish they would learn to make their webs way up high or down low so I can avoid them. I don't know how many of those I walk through each year.
