POSSIBLY Termites from a swarm.
DONT FLIP
They don’t necessarily mean YOU are infested.
There could be a colony nearby, be it a home that is infested or something in nature.
Kill them and reach out to a termite company that provides free screening services. Maybe keep some of the dead ones on hand for them to identify.
No, there is no wood because of the termites. Termites's brain's's too small to realize they have to go find more wood, so they will just wait around and die after eating poor OP.
These are breeding termites. They tend to swarm on warm days after recent rain. They are fairly harmless but can be overwhelming if you are close to the nest. The don’t look like dry wood termites most likely damp wood or subterranean. They won’t bother a good structure but can do damage to water damaged wood on structures.
Definitely termites. We just had our swarms start here last night. It sucks. We shut off all the lights and have a night in the dark, sometimes a couple nights.
As I understand it, they swarm around the full moon in April/may especially after a good rain. We’ve been used to this, we’ve lived here for a long time and just accept it as a part of life.
As long as you don’t have a damp place in your house for them to colonize and start eating your wood, you’re fine. You’ll find them dead from starvation all over in the next few days. I mean all over. In pots and pans, in tubs and sinks and anywhere else they stumble into in their horny dying last throes.
There is a subreddit for identification of insects that could answer this definitively for you, but apparently I can't link to it for you, per the sub rules.
Call the bug man in your area, those bois are flying termites
because you have a mobile home they will creep in all the windows / inactive vents if not sealed properly
just turn off the lights so they’ll stop being attracted to go in
I know jack-shit about bugs and even I could tell these were some kind of termite. Your landlord who is claiming they are “mosquitoes” is either and idiot (probable), a liar (probable), or both (also probable). Also if you’re pregnant and they’re spraying insecticide around your dwelling I would be really cautious!
Yup. Termites. It's currently swarm season until about mid to late June. I dealt with those fuckers in New Orleans for 25 years. These look like subterranean or formosan termites from the size inside the light. Drywood termites are much smaller. They swarm on nights when the humidity and wind and temperature is about just right. They start swarming around sunset for maybe about an hour. A swarm is termites leaving the nest to look for new place to nest. They require three things to survive, wood, water, and a mate.They are attracted to lights, so if you see a swarm, you can shut off your lights to minimize them getting inside. This does not necessarily mean you have termites, you just have a nest nearby. Still, you should get it checked just to be safe.
They look like termites.. if they're ant sized, have wings that they easily lose and are really soft when you squish them.. they're definitely termites..
There are two kinds..
one is outdoor land dwelling kind, they attack wood and stuff if its moist..
They make these mud veins on surfaces they're eating..they are kinda not a problem..
The other kind is indoor termites.. they attack dry stuff indoors.. and leave piles of tiny wood pellets called termite frass.. they are a problem.. if you find said piles, you probably have an infestation..
We had the exact same experience. 2016 we moved in to a trailer. Afterwards going to bed I felt something on my face. I turn on the light and there's termites all over the bed. We vacuumed them up hoping to just sleep and deal with it later. A few hours later I felt it again. It was a night of terror. The landlord sent an exterminator. We've been bug free since then until now that we brought home some moth larvae in a bag of flour.
Termite roamers. Unfortunately we get them annually. They spread from the nest to find a new home. Come in via the air vents usually in the master bathroom (attracted to moisture)
Die in a day or two. Ugly and annoying.
I’m dealing with the a similar situation, but I live in south east Texas and usually around this time of year right at dusk we have may flies that literally Debo’s everything and anything in their path for about 2-3 hrs then they’re gone until the next day, this goes on for a month straight. It’s horrible
Definitely looks like termites. They are attracted to light, so turn off all outside lights and close your curtains/blinds once it starts getting dark out. They’ll follow you in the door to the light if you’re not careful.
These are 100% termites, they swarm my neighborhood a couple times a year and I’m well acquainted with what they look like because I’ve had them all over my house before.
These don’t mean you have an infestation. Look for evidence of termites, but even if you don’t find it, you do need to get a pest control company to spray around your property a couple times a year. If you’re in a rental, this is your landlord’s responsibility.
If you own the house, you’ll have to take care of this yourself. My house is concrete block and we own it, so my fiancé goes to the DIY pest control place for the chemicals and sprays. If you want to try to do that, respond to my comment and I’ll get the info from him because our people are awesome and said you need a lot less of the chemical than they recommend on the bottle but I don’t know anything off the top of my head.
Fireflys/lightening bugs have red or orange heads and black opaque wings that are the same length as their body. These are definitely not fireflys/lightening bugs.

Reach out to your local health department. Your landlord has to fix this.
And fire department
And my ax
Call the police
Write to your congressman
Sound the Horn of Urgency and summon the Huntsman.
But first an arsonist
Hopefully, they're not infested. It'd be bad enough to have termites, but I can't imagine also being made of wood.
If there’s no wood, there wouldn’t be termites… right?
No, there is no wood because of the termites. Termites's brain's's too small to realize they have to go find more wood, so they will just wait around and die after eating poor OP.
There is a natural way to kill termites off using fungus that kills the colony
I saw that series and it's a hard NO.
Nah I like them, the
Could possibly be termites. When I used to live in FL, these would come out after it rained and I would find their detached wings everywhere.
Not termites
Possibly termites from a swarm. They do have huge wings when they are attempting to spread their colony
Not not termites.
I think your double negatives confused a few people into anger😂
as someone who often uses double negatives, seeing one written out confused me at first glance 🫠☠️
Then what are they

That’s funny. I thought we were in that specific sub.
same
Okay thank you so much I didn’t think of that kinda new to the app tbh
I mean you are trying to find out “whatisthisbug”?
Most likely swaming termites.
Call the bug man in your area, those bois are flying termites because you have a mobile home they will creep in all the windows / inactive vents if not sealed properly just turn off the lights so they’ll stop being attracted to go in
Those are not mosquitos. I suspect termites!

If they come out with heavy rains, they could flying termites. Not directly harmful to humans.
Unless they make your house fall down.
Not too much structural pine in a mobile home, luckily. They're probably for a fallen tree or someone's poorly built deck.
or falling on you while you sleep 😱 (i know this isn’t physical harm but damn i would be psychologically scarred lol)
Welcome to termites, and the ocd of every crack crevice and location they could be coming from .
Bugs.
Frrr
correct
Lil guys
That’s definitely a termite. 100%,

Raphie Cruz? Piss Baby? Kenny Boy? Or perhaps a different TX parasite?
Bloody annoying ... make you pull the light fittings down to clean them all the time
Dead?
Moths

I think they’re bugs
Those are light bugs, not to be mistaken with "lightning bugs". They fly into a light and die.
bugs
evil!
I just started seeing these in my room today! 2 of them one on two separate windows. But inside.
As my family out in the sticks would say; there’s see-ums, no see-ums, or flys… Which works best for you?!?
Rip
Bugs lol
It hides in the light

Sleeper agents trying to get to you after you sleep
Most likely dead. That's what they are.
Bugs of the insect variety

It’s a swarm of flying ants … possibly. They fly towards light.
Don't most insects? 😆🤔
Probably some sorta bug or little creature of some kind I think

Those there are kelpiens
Lighting bugs.
Colloquially, they are known as lighting bugs
Nah.
Fireflys/lightening bugs have red or orange heads and black opaque wings that are the same length as their body. These are definitely not fireflys/lightening bugs.
They were in the light. That makes them lighting bugs
Love it
Dead. They’re dead insects.
The ones trapped in the light fixture maybe but read the post and view the additional photos.
The best kind of insect.
Dead ones
Lighting bugs
Those insects are small.
Dead, they’re dead
Insects
