The...Horde? Swarm?

[hwango]

I keep thinking that it's raining. The clicking sounds against the window are more like that of light sleet or icy snow, but with this heat that's obviously impossible. But it's not rain, either. It's dozens (if not hundreds) of little bug ramming themselves against the glass. They don't look like most beetles, nor are they moths - the wings are definitely folded up on the back. Some kind of short, squat little grasshopper relative? They aren't on any of the plants on the porch, so they aren't some ravening blight that will leave the neighborhood totally defoliated, thankfully. But they're definitely eerie if for no other reason than their alarming numbers. I'm not going outside to catch one, I can tell you that for certain.
