The town of Oyonnax, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in eastern France, has been host to thousands and thousands of boxwood moths for the past few weeks, according to locals.
Footage, filmed by Gaelle Lecompte earlier this month, shows a ‘cloud’ of the little critters sticking to windows and flying around the streetlights.

Gaelle said:
The moths are particularly concentrated in our village – especially at night because of these streetlights.Box moths, and especially the caterpillars before they become moths, can be particularly destructive to gardens and hedges. Native to East Asia, the insects have only appeared in Europe in the last 10 years.
