Bugs, bats, and burning 8/20 '15
I am not sad about missing Burning Man this year.
I was sad up until yesterday when I read that the atypically high amounts of rain has made for a bug-tastic breeding ground, and they're currently inundated with huuuuuge swarms of green stinkbugs, beetles, and now bats.
The photos are staggering.
I always loved Burning Man because the desert is a blank canvas with nothing there except what people bring. No animals, no bugs, just dusty people and the stuff we need to live (art included).
It's hard enough keeping dust out of your trailer. I don't wanna have to worry about swarms of stinkbugs and some other bugs that bite and leave welts. This will not end well.
Read about it here... though you have to scroll a bit. (They didn't mention bats in this article, but I read it in another one.)
