Second year we were here, I had installed a hokey ceiling by screwing drop ceiling panels to the ceiling joists. There were gaps in between. Had a major caterpillar season. Millions upon millions. Couldn’t walk without stepping on a dozen per step. The outside walls were covered. They made it into the attic because I didn’t the have soffits finished yet and they were dropping on us 24/7 and those little sucker bite. Wake up getting bit and instinctively smack which turned into smeared caterpillar. Nasty.

I drywalled the ceiling asap.
