As there are such things as "sundown moths", I will take you literally and assume this is not a metaphor, although I can see where Billy would get mosquitoes, but I can also see a moth doing everything you describe.
Where I find this poem puzzling is in the use of your. Is the speaker talking to someone else, or is he talking to me when he says "your"...
For me this ambiguity is disruptive to the poem. I am not even sure that the writer is aware of the ambiguity, thus making it unintentional.

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
