Has your home been swarmed by gamugamo lately? You are not alone.Videos of gamugamo swarming houses and public spaces have made the rounds on social media as of late. One man from Oton, Iloilo, Saf Ferrer, even shared an amusing video of him with the "visitors" in his home.According to Kuya Kim on "24 Oras," Thursday, these insects are also known as moths, but the ones seen in the videos online are called winged termites.
"Itong mga termite alates or swarmers ay pinapakawalan ng mga colony para mag-reproduce. Lumilipad sila para maghanap ng ka-mate. Kapag may nahanap silang ka-mate, sila ay maghahanap ng lupa para mag establish ng bagong colony," he said.Kuya Kim also shared that there is no scientific study yet explaining why these insects gravitate towards the light, although entomologists say these insects possibly use light to navigate or as a safety signal when predators are around.
