Yeah infested here now for a couple of years but turns out they are not as damaging as once feared...

Looks like MPV got down to 32°. Unfortunately my PWS is down so I don’t know what I got down to here. As for foliage, I think this weekend was probably peak. 

Finally got my PWS back up.  Had to reset the wifi connection and the console itself.  It's 51.2°.  Unfortunately it lost the rain stats.

First ones popped up in southern CT in the late summer of 2024.  Last year wasn't nearly as bad as this year, this year they are as common as flys.

They are pretty adorable little things. I was just at the supermarket one landed on my neck, they were all over the ground and the bushes.
