Everything here is yellow... even puddles after a rain.

When my wife managed a bank at the airport, she had a LOT of travelers
asking what the yellow powder all over everything was. They were
thinking toxic waste rather that amorous foliage....


Well if you want to look on the positive side, as least it is not as
obnoxious as "Love Bugs". I was in Orlando when they swarmed and that
was nasty.

Thanks for the reminder, not. They visit twice a year down here. Yuck


How long does the average swarm last? I think I would try to stock up on
food supplies and telecommute to work.


For a given area, I would say 1 to 2 weeks. They do seem to migrate from
place to place.
