Right now we're having a problem with those pesky stink bugs.
One of the signs of Autumn in farmland is the invasion of ladybugs and boxelders. Do you ever have "invasions" of anything at certain times of the year?
Sorry no pics. I'm not sure what they are called. Tiny little hard shelled neon green bugs. I believe they come off the hay fields during haying season. Annoying and they are everywhere. They die quickly in masses. I have to vacuum my deck !
Another one we have occurs in July on the Mississippi River. The mayflies emerge to breed. They get so thick, they've actually been seen on radar.
The animals gobble them up in a feast. It's horrible to be out in them!
(Sorry the radar image was so big. I switched pics.)
March and September are Lovebug seasons. Sure they sound cute and cuddly, but their bodies contain an acid that will eat the paint off your car. And thy love to hangout over the roads. They are called Lovebugs because when the hookup to mate, they stay that way. The poor male is stuck facing backwards while the female drags it around.
The only invasion I have right now is leaves, leaves, and more leaves everywhere! What is boxelders? I've never heard of that.
We are still in ant season. Pffffffft. I don't know what they are going after.... They won't touch my food! They must just like my company!!!! 😅
We call them snowbirds. Northerners who flee those lousy northern winters. They flock south in large numbers every year, the swarm is heaviest after Thanksgiving.
