“Dear PoPville,

So all summer long I’ve felt like I have been tripping over yellow jackets. They are seemingly everywhere and always just buzzing along the ground. I’ve wondered what the hell is going on, and then I stumbled a tree completely infested with lantern flies and the ground around it was slick with syrupy honey dew (their shit), and a swarm of bees, hornets, and yellow jackets were lapping it up.

Curious to see if other folks have had a similar encounter because this sucks!”
