We've been having mini-infestations of them the past 3 years or so, with last year being the worst. This year, I have yet to see one up here. Not a single one! :o

None here the past several years, but like Smitty's, my girl friend's place in Saratoga had lots of them last year. Might be because of being at a higher altitude, and our summers have been cooler than average the last several years.

Move to a higher altitude, I've seen maybe 3 or 4 of them the past 3 or 4 year. None so far this year.
