Oh yeah, they came up out of the ground here about a week ago. I don't have many, but even so the full herd has not yet woken up, I think.

I've seen one, so maybe the numbers are down. But I have yet to find SVB damage -- my squash have lived longer than any year previous.

Insect changes I've noted - way more ants and fireflies this year, and mosquitoes (no surprise there, with all the wet weather). Tons of tiny beneficial wasps, but I have a lot of chamomile, parsley, etc attracting them, too. I haven't seen JB's or SVB's yet either, and my population of those annoying orange wasps seems to be way down, but I suspect that all three will show up more soon - it hasn't been hot enough long enough yet.

I've seen a few this week. I think they are late because we had cool weather till the beginning of June.

I haven't seen any Japanese Beetles this year and have seen very few over the last ten years or so. I, too, have seen more fireflies this year than I have in a while. Wonder why that is?
