Must be Twilight Zone season!

So, this happened a couple of weeks ago - but THINGS have conspired to keep me from actually STARTING this discussion. As most of you know, I live in Texas. The week most of the country was baking in the heat wave, we actually had a break in our 100's and got some RAIN! We got rain all weekend - not all day, but off and on from Friday into the next week - but this happened on Monday... It was just shy of 9 a.m. and had a very low cloud cover, seemed that the second story of the complex had the clouds around their eaves. I was driving into my client's apartment complex when I notice this funny thing. There were little white (or maybe pale yellow) moths EVERYWHERE! I was really puzzled, but when I came into her parking lot, there they were as well. I got out and walked to the edge of the covered parking and just looked. They were all over. I have NO idea where the birds were - they'd've been having a field day. It was just quiet - rainy, cloudy days seem to dampen sound as well as the ground - and all these fluttering moths. I went into Maggie's apartment and her cat came running and ran right out the door. I went on in and put my stuff down, I didn't figure she'd want to be out long because she doesn't like the wet much more than most cats. I put my drink in the fridge and got my stuff settled, Maggie was still sleeping, so I went to see if Minnie wanted to come back in. I stepped out, I hadn't been in there more than 10 minutes, less I suspect, and in that time the moths had vanished! Nothing else had changed, same low clouds, not raining, just the moths were GONE! I called Minnie, I actually meow for her because that's what I've done since day one and she came trotting and meowing up to me. I felt the twilight zone theme doing goose bumps down my back... I KNOW I saw those moths, but where had they gone? Why were they there and not any place else I had been? Where were the birds? Spooky!
