Well...as long as they don’t nibble.

I just washed the tree sap and attendant dirt off my car windows. Maybe it’ll rain now.

It’s raining north of St. Joe; you might could catch up with it. Radar shows quite a long front, Pratt KS to IA.

Aphids causing sticky problems for Missourians (and even those in Perfect Village.) :-)

Experts are not sure why the tiny insects are so abundant this year, but the Conservation Department has advice for getting rid of them.

JEFFERSON CITY-If your car and patio furniture seem to be getting dirty faster than usual these days, it isn't your imagination. Experts with the Missouri Department of Conservation say the sticky situation is caused by tiny insects, and they offer advice for getting rid of the messy bugs.

Forest Entomologist Rob Lawrence says Conservation Department offices around the state have received dozens of calls asking why trees are dropping tiny droplets of sap all over vehicles, homes and anything else below. He is telling those callers that the culprit is not trees, but aphids.

OT: check out the whole article. It's linked to our freeze in April.
