    where I live, there is enough insects that even LEDs get swarmmed, sure way less than other light types, but with enough insects in the area it will still attract enough to be labeled as a swarm

    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.
