What is happening? They're everywhere today, indoors and out. Also aphids. These facts unlikely to be unrelated.

Yesterday evenings mini-project was to check Field Maple trees on my way home to look for Scarce Maple Aphid, Drepanosiphum aceris. I eventually managed to find one. This species looks similar to several other aphids on Acer species, but has a dark tip to the wing amongst other features.

Side view of a winged aphid. The body is pale yellow, the eyes are red and the wings stick out behind the body and have a dark area around the apex.

The grift is just so strong on the right. Their grift ecosystem is just locked in. All the idiots that buy dick pills, and colloidal silver cream to wipe on their taint are like aphids they milk for their sweet sweet SSI checks.
