there is a specific insect, native to where I live, that seasonally appears in the hundreds during their mating season and swarm literally every outdoor light possible

sounds like the cicadas.

we also those here but the ones I am talking about arent them, but we also seem to have cicadas like every year, some years there way more, and it is not like the other years are just erractic one offs, there are still plenty those, just not littering the entire hike trail path level
