Observation notes: Ken this one is for you hope this gets you fired up, Hope you are still running around like a teenager but with a lot more Joy in your Heart! In the 80's Humid but dry as no rain. Dew in the morning. Starting to see more of these finally now at the coast. most people in hotter area's see them sooner. The males are bright orange and fresh. Shining like a Kid on their first day at school, that from what I hear starts tomorrow in our area. Be well and safe my friend! Oh and stay ready anything might show up as you taught me.
