Flying insects in my lawn

I have perennial ryegrass for my lawn and lately everytime I walk out in the lawn or mow, thousands of little flying insects start flying around. I also have some large dying patches on the lawn. Could these bugs be causing the dying patches? How do I get rid of the bugs?

Are the small grey moths? Do you have shaded areas? You may have sod web worms and its the adult moth you see. Do you see any chewing on the grass blades if you look closely?
