      Sometimes they just fall outta the trees because they’re cold blooded and it’s too cold.

      Not a lot, but sometimes.

      We don’t have them in NW Florida, but I dated a girl down south, and yeah, they fall out of trees when it gets cold (for Florida values of cold). She told me about this and I couldn’t stop laughing. “Seriously?! They just plop in the yard and on people’s heads?!”

      Yes you can see it yourself. Though it will mostly happen overnight so you’ll wake up to them dormant at the bottom of a tree.

      People eat them and it’s a super easy time to catch them

      It’s rare it gets that cold though especially lately.

          Their primary diet is leafy greens? Also do you have any idea the sheer number of animals that eat mosquitoes?
