    This isn't just a case of more insects, it is a swarm of them.

    We had them in Sandycove and Dalkey on Sat and Sunday and on Saturday night I went to a BBQ in Seafield and that was swamped as well.

    The house seems to be infested with moths too, and not the good kind. Does the heat bring those too?

    there were a gazillion* of them out last night, I think I managed to swallow most of them on my cycle home, was horrific between Booterstown and the Metals up to Dalkey.


    *might be a slight exaggeration
