I haven't seen any this year (thank goodness). My memories of these ugly creatures are that they destroyed so many trees when I lived in a suburban area. You could hear them at night eating the leaves. It used to keep me awake because I knew they were destroying the trees. By the time they left, most of the leaves on the huge gorgeous trees on our road were dead. I wonder why they're not around here this year (fingers crossed, with a little prayer). And no, I don't miss them!
