I'm so over the butterfly migration in TX

October 22, 2016 09:29PM
The suckers stick to the car worse than lovebugs. When they hit the windshield, it sounds like a rock. I'm going through 2 jugs of washer fluid a day.

I want a bug shield for Christmas or my birthday. Bugs and birds hitting my car will still happen, but maybe, just maybe not as many as normal.

Oh I have had a butterfly garden and still plant things that attract the suckers. I'm just over cleaning my car every bloody day I work because it's migration season.

I'm going to go out and see if the idea of soaking bounce sheets will remove them from the car.

MA, I used to live in Kansas. The butterfly migration was majestic, to say the least. So much that I don't remember the bug goo on my car.

I do remember the first time I saw a tumbleweed. My coworkers laughed at me because I thought it was a critter.

Too funny! I love butterflies and actually design planting areas to attract them and honey bees to my property. Right now I'm going through a minimum of 2 bottles of washer fluid plus the cleaning supplies with my own squeegee per trip, so they are on my last nerve.

Never had your reaction with tumbleweed. I did on the other hand flip out the first time I saw ia cricket in Florida, it was the size of a small mouse. Then there was the freak out when I saw my first palmetto bug, a massively huge roach that flies.

The worst part is that they fly TOWARD you. Only thing that keeps them out of your house is the sonic frequency mousetrap thing-ies. But then I worried about whether that inaudible sound was harmful to us.

Loved visiting the Butterfly Grove in Pacific Grove, CA. Literally thousands of Monarchs in one small eucalyptus grove.

Now scheduling travel shops for the day after Christmas through mid-January.
