Hate the damned things, but for the first time ever they have been loitering around (and dying en masse) on my back patio.
The males have been playing Wing Commander and Angry Birds so much that they’ve lost the urge to wrap it up into the females.

Did you give them privacy or sit in the chair and watch?

Seems like thousands that are in a mass at the base of a pecan tree in my backyard. Hopefully they stay back there and die soon.

They have been in my back yard before, but rarely have any been around my patio doors/windows and never in the numbers this go around.

What's really weird is I am not seeing them in my front yard/driveway/porch at all.


We are at the camp this week, and we have been discussing exactly this with our neighbors. We have a riverside (that we all refer to as the front), but most people think of the roadside as the front. They have been congregating on the porch on the riverside and it has been going on for weeks, per our neighbors. We used to see them every year on the roadside but rarely on the riverside. Nobody has any idea what is different this year.
