Winter rain spurred a Phoenix grasshopper invasion

What's happening: "A number of plant-feeding insects are emerging in large numbers over the past few weeks, and this could be attributed to the wet winter, and abundant growth of weeds and other vegetation that sustained them and enabled them to survive the winter," UofA entomologist Shaku Nair tells us.

Yes, but: The bugs are likely on their way out. Once the weather warms and plants dry up, grasshoppers head to cooler areas, Nair says.
