Q: It is getting very warm this year in most areas of the United States. I was wondering if because of this specific weather change what type of critters and insects would be coming out?
It is true, that one of the USA’s warmest winters in years could possibly lead to a bug bonanza. over the next weeks with all kinds of insects like beetles, ants, termites and wasps all coming out much earlier than usual.
In some places, the onslaught has already begun. Many insects that are being seen are not the usual ones that come out this time of year; those that include stink bugs and boxelder bugs.
This widespread warmth is hitting several cities including New York, Chicago, Washington, etc. Winter is usually the time of months that insects hibernate but they may be emerging quite early from their hiding places. One key for the insects is that if they come out early, the flowers and plants they feed on must also bloom equally early. They have to be synchronized with what they’re feeding upon.
