Anyone else still have bugs reptiles still out in their neck of the woods?

Here it is Dec, and grasshoppers lizards reptiles bugs etc... are still out and about. I don't ever remember seeing any of them out this late.

Flys have been out this week here

Same here Yes sir. I need a break from them for a few months

Killed a mosquito last week deer hunting. Hopefully thats the last one for the year.

Did you have a migratory bird permit for that mosquito ?
You know well that they are the official bird of Minnesota and it was in transit to warmer climates.

There still out here in the deeeeep south. However we se 70's pretty much every day still.

Yes Sir, same here.
So strange to be in December and see bugs reptiles and no snow has fallen except in areas at 9000' +

Just boxelder bugs

Had a swarm of bees today. It was a small one but this is the latest I have ever had one

Tearing out a half mile of fence today. Little grasshoppers out everywhere

We seem to have had a good hatch of box elders too. Some years you don't see many. I wonder if the chickens eat them. If they do, they don't seem to be doing a good job of it. It was -6 the other morning, you would think it would have slowed them down more.
