Last Thursday, as I walked to dinner with some friends, we noticed an abnormaly large number of moths collected around any light source. And I mean a lot. The entire sides of buildings were covered in moths. Crazy, we thought.The next night, as some friends and I drank some beers on this headland overlooking the ocean, we noticed even more moths gathered around a light pole. There were enough that even when simply walking under the pole, they were flying in our faces. Strange, we thought.
And that's when they descended from every which direction. Moths in apartments. Moths getting into your food. Moths all up your face. Moths everywhere.
Turns out this happens once a year, when hoards of bogong moths (whatever those are) migrate. But because of some unusual winds this year, Sydney's seeing many, many, many more moths than normal. And how better to take advantage of this than to eat them! Ummm, or not.
Anyway, to the moths: it's been fun, really, but it's time for everybody out!
