Bulgarian translation:лампа на терасата
Explanation:
Тука имаме идиоматичен израз "like bugs in a porch light" който на български може да се преведе като "като мухи на мед" , буквалко "като буболечки около лампата на терасата" т.е нещо досадно, натрапчиво.

улична лампа/уличен фенер


Explanation:
Тук според мен трябва да се преведе малко в преносен смисъл, защото се търси ефекта на сравнението: "като бръмбари в ..."
