Yes, those really are bugs piled up in the corner. This is the sight we found the other night when we came home. We had left the outside lights on at our house and they were swarming around so thick you wouldn't want to even approach the door. Luckily we are still staying at the guesthouse so we just left the light on and we to bed. These are pictures I took the next morning. The story we get from the locals is this occurs only once a year right before Thai New Year (Songkran) which is April 13-15. They don't bite thank goodness but are just a big pain in the you know what. Most were dead by the next morning and once I swept them up I had a pile that could have passed for Fall leaves in Virginia. If you are familiar with the "love bugs" of the some part of the Deep South in the U.S. you will have an idea of what these are like. Hopefully, we have seen the last of them for a year.
