Yes. Swarmed 2 weeks ago bad. Thousands.

Apparently smoking meat draws them in.

Haven't seen any in the N.O. area. But I bet if I climb in the saddle of my motorcycle and take a day ride, they'll find me in a heartbeat.

No. I've had a couple of them already but there's only one I wish I still had.

I bought a 59 Panhead back in 74 for $500 as a basket case and got it home in crab hampers, 5 gallon buckets and the trunk of my car. Put it together in 2 weeks time and rode it for a few years before selling it to pay the hospital bill for my sons birth. His mom was 3 months pregnant when we got married, so no insurance.

I've been riding Kawasaki Nomads since 99. My current one is an 06 Nomad V-Twin, 5 speed, liquid cooled, shaft drive heavy cruiser. It came with hard saddlebags, a windshield and lowers, front and rear crash bars, front and rear floorboards and dual disc brakes on the front with single on the rear. Holds the road like it's on rails.

I was wrapped up with them a couple of weeks ago.

The front of my truck looked like it had been hit with birdshot.

I’ve been smoking ribs and a shoulder and I kinda wish I hadn’t.

Moved out to the country here in NWFL and they are everywhere. Much worse than we lived on the coast

We blow hundreds of dead ones off our porches 2x a day...

and they find their way into everything....

Not to mention the front of our vehicles....

There aren’t that many here in central Mississippi. However, I am still trying to get them all off my truck from the game in BR last weekend!

I didn’t do this on purpose, but we have two dogs. We walk them pick up their shite put it in a grocery plastic bag and leave it outside of our trashcan until trash day. Fast forward a couple years.

That attracted flies, which attracted lizards. I have lizards, I have an incredible amount of lizards on my carport.


But I don’t have any insects. No mosquitoes no flies no love bugs…

Thanks for sharing, seriously.

This is very organic.

Maybe it's me, but I don't recall beyond a few years ago having them twice a year.

We have an antique car get together and rally next weekend and I hope they are gone by then. Another coat of wax on the vehicle is on the to do list this coming week.
