Buggy Winters
When you think of a Southwestern winter, you probably don’t think about bugs or pests. But along with lowered temperatures and occasional desert snowfall also comes the appearance of little critters. Although the Southwest has an extensive number of pests that are present during the summer, there are also some that thrive in the colder winter climate — these range from insects to rodents.
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at the University of Arizona has curated an Insect Calendar that breaks down the area’s common bugs by month.
Common Southwestern winter bugs include:
- Long-Horned Beetles
- Aphids
- Palo Verde Buck Moths
- False Boxelder Bugs
- Hairy Fungus Beetles
- Indian Meal Moth
- And more!
Aside from bugs and insects, other rodents are out and about during the winter season, too!
