Sounds like times have changed.   I ran lights down in that area in the
late 60's and early 70's and it seemed like there were no people around. 
But, if any people were in the area they would come by to check out what I
was up to.  Seems like the lights brought in the people in the area as well
as the bugs.  But yes the moths and other insects that came in down there
were incredible (some great memories of my teen years).
