With just over a week until kickoff, Burning Man, the annual counterculture-gone-mainstream festival in the Nevada desert, is aswarm with bugs. Reports indicate that both stink bugs and another bug that digs its hollow tongue into whatever is nearby in search of water—including human skin—are carpeting the area. An entomologist informally identified three kinds of bugs based on reports: false blister beetles, false chinch bugs, and Say’s stink bug, otherwise known as green stink bugs. Why this year and no other year? No one is certain, but probably because recent rains gave rise to the necessary conditions for the boom-bust life cycle of these desert bugs to enter into a major boom phase. The bright lights don’t hurt either. http://fus.in/1fsPs7T http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
