The people of La Sarre, about eight hours outside of Montreal, found themselves cleaning up piles of moths, both living and dead.
The insects had swarmed the town in herds, dangling from lampposts and buildings and leaving a local car dealership with a ton of cleaning to do.
Staff at the dealership said the moths swarmed the area in clusters, looking like clouds in the sky. LaFleur said the insects took over the dealership as they planted themselves onto rows of new vehicles. Entomologists have identified the bug as the large aspen tortrix, which are most commonly found in Ontario followed by Quebec.
