Louisville, Covington, Florence, could all be hotspots. Straggler cicadas are an interesting phenomenon, cicada researchers at @MountStJosephU are looking for data on them. If you find cicadas in 2022 take a pic for @CicadaSafari or upload to @inaturalist so we can map them out!

Getting lots of annual bluegrass weevils #ABW here in KY. In Paris, KY and got 137 adults in soap flushes in 4 sqft. Still in low hundreds for growing degree days and forsythia just hit full gold. Get out and check now rather than wait for the half gold and half green bushes!

I was super excited to talk arthropod mascots and nicknames with @JodyBugsMeUNL and @mskvarla36

The Arthro-pod team got a little carried away talking/judging the accuracy of #arthropod college #mascots in our last episode.
To see the mascots we discuss, go to “Arthropod Mascot PowerPoint” link in show notes: arthro-pod.blogspot.com/2022…
