How do bugs appear on IR LED cameras?

Recommended Posts

I got a motion trip from what I think is a bug flying around on an IR LED

camera, except that the thing glows white. When it approaches the

lens, it's just a big white square or polygon; I never get a resolved

image of the bug at any distance.

 

Is this just because it's wings move too fast to capture and it reflects IR

light strongly, or do I have a UFO sighting?

Anyone have a serious answer? Can I confirm that insects appear as

glowing blobs on IR cameras?

Come on, that is a serious answer Haven't your ever watched Ghost Hunters on Wednesdays on the SciFy Channel??

 

No, like Sawbones said, they are just bugs on the lens.
