Why do insects swarm in summer?
Just like a drunk relative, insects can be perennial spoilers of summer-time barbecues, picnics and birthday parties. While it might seem like they are deliberately trying to bug us, the real reasons for their population boom are much more complex (the insects, that is... maybe try loading your relative up on pavlova). But there are also many benefits to having more insects in your garden and community.
