I mentioned 2013 to Monty the other night. I couldn’t remember the year but
They covered our green house windows. Last night we had so many, I closed
the doggy door so they couldn’t come into the lighted house. Lol. I
remember as a kid in the early to mid 60’s the same clouds of Miller moths.
At least that’s what we were told they were then.

Hi,
I'd love to be corrected or supplemented by those who know more, but I
think what we're seeing is an irruption of Miller Moths, which migrate from
the plains to the Rockies in spring. Some years there are big irruptions
of them. I remember this from 2013, when there was a big influx of them.
They were even hits on Youtube, when by chance someone in Colorado would
leave a window open and a light on, and suddenly have their house snowing
with moths.
They are nocturnal, but maybe, this morning being overcast, they are more
active than usual?
I regret that I can't get out today and will probably miss the V-8
tomorrow.
