The numbers and types of insects have exploded locally, one result of the abundant and well-spaced rainfall this summer. Quite a contrast to last summer.

But the 'explosion' has been very uneven. Some species are super abundant, while others seem to be nearly absent. Quite a confusion. Maybe all this iNat data will someday give clues as to what's happening.
It is noted that "snout population size is positively correlated with the intensity and duration of dry periods immediately preceding drought-terminating rains".

The American Snout butterflies are having a banner year. The sheer numbers I am seeing of them in southeast Arizona is astronomical.
