Pic related it's the highest point of my tent.

Why do bugs do this? Why do they collect there? There is nothing for them, no food no whatever else bugs need. Why not fly out the door to freedom?

Because bugs hate you almost as much as most of the people that know you

There is no heat source other than me in the tent, so while I'm sure it is warmer up there it can't be more than a fraction of a degree, and it is like 70F here right now anyway.

'Cause they are attracted to light and the sun is up there?

They're moving towards the light and they lack the mental capacity to figure out going down and around then up to escape.

Like when you get a fuckload of those tiny little bugs flying at your head and you take off your hat. They all follow the hat to the higher point.

They use the sun to navigate, you blocked off their escape route.

I use a ThermaCell to drive out any mosquitos and bugs in the tent before I go to bed;

Thinking about going to bed
Spark up ThermaCell
Place near the back of the tent
LEAVE THE TENT DOOR OPEN
Go back to camp fire and hang out
1/2 hour or so later, decide to go to bed
All bugs have been driven out of the tent
Zip up tent door
Turn off ThermaCell
