Hikers ascending Gyeyangsan mountain in South Korea recently encountered an unexpected phenomenon: a significant swarm of “lovebugs” at the summit.
In a video circulating on social media, a hiker documented their experience of being surrounded by the insects, attempting to repel them with an electric bug zapper.
The hiker informed local media that the mountain was “covered with bugs,” creating what they described as a “thick carpet” of insects.
Lovebugs, named for their tendency to fly in pairs, have reportedly appeared in increasing numbers across various regions of South Korea in recent years.
Experts suggest that the rising temperatures observed in the region may be contributing to the proliferation of these insects.
Local authorities said the driver was rescued with no injuries after heavy rainfall caused landslides in the region.
