literal bugs on my phone.

there are some things I do not like about summer: the heat, the humidity, the bugs. Don’t get me started on bugs. This year, my house has been invaded by Nats. And, of course, when I am using my phone, they are attracted by the light. I keep having to swipe them out of my face. Disgusting! I do have a bug zapper, which is doing a good job, but I can’t wait for the late fall when hopefully all the bugs will be dead.

Try using your phone with screen curtain on? There shouldn't be any light then.

Reminds me of an ancient TV set we had from the 50s when I was growing up. The outside was made of wood, and the screen had a plate of glass about an inch in front of it. Down in the bottom in the space between the screen and glass were a bunch of dead bugs of some sort from the 50s. I guess they were on the glass as eggs or something, hatched then died.

Perhaps they want to make a call or send a text asking other bugs to visit you? Bugs are people too.
