Massive bogong moth wave last night down here. Went out into the garden at sunset basically walking through a sea of them.
Seen a few midge plagues before but never moths like that. Was impressive.
Heaps in the house. Can’t do much. Back to melbs today so it’s a later problem.
That’s really good about the moths. 😊
I grew up when there were so many of them everywhere. Every single street lamp at night, every outdoor light, every crack of light would have dozens pf moths crowding around. And of course car wind shields would get bug splats.
The cats have had a field day in my house overnight…
I love it when they get too close to the fly zapper. It produces a satisfying buzz. Fry mother fucker.
They don’t do damage, or not much. Just looking for a cool place to sleep away the summer. If you don’t want them in the house, you may need to call a pest controller as dealing with that many moffs can be difficult.

I only have one in the house, and that’s because Mr Woof brought it inside to show off his hunting prowess. I tried putting it in the bin, but he pulled it out again so it’s currently in the middle of the lounge room.
