Experts believe that warm winter temps may have contributed to the rise of aphids by causing the bug's biological clock to go off-kilter. Officials say the 'insects do not present a known public health risk.' Swarms of aphids in NYC bugging New Yorkers:
weren't enough, New York City has been invaded in recent days with plumes of flying insects that have become both a nuisance and a source of fascination — what were they, where'd they come from and will they ever go away? Another unwanted Canadian export?
The startling scene was nothing short of a “gnatural disaster," quipped a post on Twitter, which has been abuzz with reports of swarms in some neighborhoods, while others remain bug-free. Professor David Lohman, an entomologist at the City University of New York, hadn't seen any of the insects himself, but he concluded from photos and videos circulating on social media that they were winged aphids — not gnats, as amateur bugologists assumed.
