A couple of those asian beetles, the things that look like orange ladybugs but have bad manners (they bite and they stink) were flying around the office lights last night. When we first switched the lights to CFLs it was odd as some bugs were suddenly not flying around the lights. These beetles do fly by the lights and ping off of the spiral tubes.
I thought I got the one, only to find that there was another. I dealt with that one as well. Then it started snowing, sort of. Little flecks would drift down, like the light fixture was a snow cloud (or had dandruff) and that also got annoying. Stepping away I found that the particles were all coming from the edge of one blade of the ceiling fan. Sure enough, another beetle was walking along on the top of the blade and it was enough to knock some dust down. Even when they aren't flying around me or landing on me, they still find a way to be annoying. Fortunately that was all last night and tonight if there are any of those beetles around, they haven't been annoying me.
